Linux vs Vista Home Premium


Well I installed Windows Vista Home Premium on my Dell D620 notebook thinking I am going into productivity heaven. Guess again…

Apparently Vista thinks that giving me a BSOD every few minutes is a good idea and will persuade me to keep it. Although I like the new nice look, AERO, the search (could be better), Media Center and all the other stuff Microsoft packed into it’s new OS I can’t simply look the other way when it comes to stability, driver incompatibility and constant DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL messages displayed on nice shiny blue screens. So in my quest for a new OS I am looking towards either the new Ubuntu Feisty Fawn due 19th of April, Fedora Core 7 due 23rd of May or, if I am really weak, back to Windows XP. It will most likely depend on whether the final builds of the both Linux OSes are really convincing. Anyone got a nice guide of installing linux on a Dell?
