I'm trying to sell my 70CT because I think I'll not use it anymore.. It's in perfect conditions without any problems with screen, HD, case, keyboard, mouse .. About Linux .. Pick a dedicated machine, put Debian Stable and start to use it.. Start trying to do the things you usually do with free/open software.. Almost everything can be done with free/open software.. In a few days you'll be leaving your windows machine off.. :) No more hang ups .. I did this 6-7 years ago and a friend of mine said that I should pick up my best machine to put Linux and I picked up the worst.. After 30 days, I swapped the machines and put Linux on the best one for everyday use.. :) Don't use Linux as you use Windows.. Setup a user account other than root and use it!.. Forget about the windows way of doing things.. Pick a good Unix/Linux book with concepts about user management, services, etc .. It will be worthwhile.. [] JA Tavares
