I repaired a Sony Viao for a friend of mine this winter -- hosed XP
installation. I got a copy of Knoppix as a boot CD, and would switch
over personally -- I suspect it's both more stable and boots MUCH
faster. XP is a hog -- this was a 1.6G processor 512 MB ram system --
takes longer to boot than DOS/W3.1!
Ah, I'm showing my age again -- first computer was an Apple II with
128k of memory, used....

The old lady I'm switching Mac to PC for had the MB die on her second Mac.
Her sister works for Dell in Austin, so she sent her a new PC. I told her I
would help her learn how to use it. About all she uses a computer for is
email and letter writing.
I ordered a copy of Knoppix when it first came out, hoping I could load it
from disc each each time I used it. Unfortunately, it loaded too slowly on
the old computer I was using. Maybe I'll try it on this one which is about
five times faster.
