Acer Aspire 5520-5912
The Problem Space
I can't stand Vista any longer. I started looking last week for a Linux LiveCD distribution to use.
So far I have tried a good half-dozen [it seems - I will enumerate later] Linux LiveCD distros, and none of them have proven satisfactory. Again, I will try to detail the specific problems of each a bit later.
