I've finally removed windows off the laptop and am devoting the whole machine to linux. I backed up what i could from the wifes partition [more about the what i could statement in a mo] and reinstalled linux on the whole laptop Brilliant.

What's this all about "what i could?", well before i backed everything i could up, i ran a virus scan, it was using mcafee. 47 virus/trojans/phishing cookies n various other crap on there....grrrr no wonder the laptop was going slow, i can't beleive the AV didn't pick these up, i can only assume that there was something wrong with it......damn..but i got what i could

I'm now a proud owner of a laptop that is dedicated to linux. At the moment i've picked Fedora to reinstall, but after playing with Hardy Heron, can see me swapping to that when it's released. But who knows.....

*UPDATE* Fedora doesn't actually do what i need, so it's back to good old Ubuntu Gutsy.  Until heron goes gold.
