I recently fixed an Acer laptop for a friend of mine. The disk was almost full, and the registry was corrupted - this laptop was running VISTA - so this problem may be a part of both vista and 7. The registry was no hope for, so I used a Linux live CD to copy some files (backup) to an external...

My XP installation went bad on my laptop, so I though if I was going to reinstall windows, I might as well use Windows 7 (i'm using it on my desktop already). My laptop would no longer boot due to a corrupted Windows file. I installed Windows 7 today. The install went fine, booted from CD...

Anybody tried this yet? I've just loaded it up, early days yet but using it atm to browse and post here using Firefox. My favourite distro, previously, had been Suse 10.2 but I think I may be a convert to this one. A single CD ISO download, took me 45 minutes to download. Has everything you...
