I'm getting Xubuntu for the said old school lappy that I have.
All I need now is a CMOS battery, and the normal battery for portability.

I just thought you'd find it interesting that a female friend of mine took the challenge for a few months. She went back to XP for a few because her webcam wouldn't work, and now she's gonna go back to Ubuntu once again and plans to buy a new webcam.

That's presuming she uses the webcam with IM software.

Her cam just wasn't supported through any drivers I could find. There was one driver that was supposed to support it, but the output was nothing but distortion and the cam wasn't detected 50% of the time by apps. I forgot the details on the cam or I'd tell you what kind it was.

 I'm glad to hear it, I've gotten so tired of hearing people say Nvidia cards work better with linux, I hear enough about how they fold better, so its nice to see them doing some work on the linux drivers
