PCLinuxOS 2008 Gnome on new laptop.

| I then added the KDE desktop environment and was all set. My startup time is
| around 30 seconds and shutdown even less. I have the 3D Compiz Fusion running
| and everyone at work was really impressed by the speed and look. Texstar and
| crew really outdid themselves on this one. As of now, there is no way VISTA
| will ever be re-installed. The only thing I regret is that I had to pay for
| VISTA, and it counts as a sale for Microsoft. I wonder what the actual
| figures are for VISTA usage, and how many people have done what I did, and
| upgrade to Linux?
