I am getting interested in installing a distro of Linux on my Dell laptop (1.6 Ghz, 1.25 GB RAM) and I was wondering if some of you guys can give me some of your experiences with it.

A nice steak dinner. Beef is definitely hard to find in Mumbai (well it was for me at least).

Also tell him to always drink bottled...

One follow-up question:

Yes its been hot in Southern California lately so my ambient has been pretty damn high.
Yesterday it hit 74C on P95 hehe.
BTW when I installed the stock heatsink I cleaned off the stock thermal pad and replaced it with AS5.

I just bought myself a new rig and I didn't know until today that my XP-90 will fit on my E8400.
I was going to use the OEM HS, but why not change to the XP-90 if I can right?
