If you are using OSX and not using homebrew, its a highly recommended tool
for all these issues.

My .02 cents - go to XFCE or LXDE, or compile DWM and go tiled. Life is
too short to convince the Gnome or KDE teams that they messed up.
With your use model being 20 some odd virtual desktops it would seem that a
tiled manager would fit your need a lot better.
EPEL is your friend if you are run
For all things java on Ubuntu, adding the WebUpd8 repo is pretty darn handy:

This will eliminate the pain of futzing with the Oracle installation
instructions.

well, I'd just choose your mSATA drive in the bios boot menu, then once
you've rebooted into the OS that you like, you wipe the hard drive with
whatever OS is on there.

I actually would recommend lubuntu. It is very XP-like in layout and is
very clean looking in this new release. I'd also second sticking with the
LTS releases as well.

Well, whatever the reason, I can suggest these:

That seems like a great reason to run a virtual machine and sandbox a more

A live instance as far as I have always used them is simply one that will
usually do some modprobing enough to start an X session and let you Kick the
tires before installing graphically. I wouldn't consider it a Virtual Machine
or an emulation.

Set you back 100 bucks or so and a lot of time, but if you are really into

That is sad to hear. I have never had issue with Mint, and have preferred it
to Ubuntu since 8.04 or so. although these days Im a solid arch user.

I would throw my .02 cents on Arch linux. The documentation is excellent
and it starts you at a very base level. It all depends on how "wet" you
want to get when jumping into the pool.
