However thats just because I just started using Ubuntu & the tweaking will grow on me soon. Also I can use it as a backup partition of windows is inefected.


Are you running Xubuntu on that old computer?

Linux isn't bad but I just like Microsoft Better. Just a Bias plain and simple.

Nothing wrong with that. Use what you like. Conversely, Windows isn't bad but I just like Linux better. I think I prefer XP over Mac OS X, and Vista would be better if I could find the right driver for Apple's touchpad.
