It’s been a while since I got to play with Linux. My Toshiba laptop is Linux-proof for some reason, and the Asus EEE 701 4G has been in active duty. Now I have another netbook, and it came with Windows 7, which was great. I became dependent on a lot of Windows-only programs.

Then after a couple of months, Windows 7 took forever to not only boot up but to connect to Wi-Fi as well. My netbook is an Acer Aspire, which I know is very Linux-friendly, so I went and installed Zorin OS, my favorite Linux distro, and it has been the difference between night and day when it comes to speed.

I recommend that you should install Linux on your computer but dual-boot with Windows for those one or two Windows programs that you can’t live without.
