You know about Xubuntu, right?

Remember that if you do decide to put XP on it, it's much easier to install Linux afterward. (XP may wipe out Grub and Linux no matter how careful you are.) That might affect your partitioning and backup decisions. Hang in there. You'll get over this hump. Cheers, Scott.

For the most part, I don't game, so high end cards are not something I generally care about nor have sitting around. Too much of today's music is fashionable crap dressed as artistry._{Adrian Belew}

Wireless worked great once I configured my SSID and password. I was impressed with the bootup speed(off CD at that) so went ahead and installed it. Once it was installed I went to configure the wireless again, but the card isn't listed in the network control panel :-( Time for bed - I'll look into it tomorrow evening.

When installing pcmcia-cs it even told me that I should use the newer one.
