A while ago I said bye to Vista. I installed Mac OS X tiger X86 for the hell of it, but it sucked (no sounder, WLAN, ethernet, and I had no Mac programs). A day after installing OSX I put ubuntu on. the day after that my hard drive failed. I was using live CDs for a while (Ubuntu, Kubuntu), the day after that I got a new hard drive. Still 160 GB, but this one is quieter and uses less battery power. I installed Ubuntu and am using that now.
