Clean Install of Linux on Laptop
I have not been a Windows user at home since the first Intel Macs came out and I am thinking of moving to Linux and putting either Fedora or Ubuntu on a laptop as a clean install.
However, I am hearing horror stories of those who have attempted the same thing with laptops with Windows 8.1 installed on it (something to do with the Bios).
What would you recommend in purchasing a Laptop for installing Linux on.
I am also thinking of doing a Desktop/Server probably using CentOS but I will be building that from scratch (something I have not done in decades) so I will not have the Windows issues (hopefully)

It's cool that they offer it. But it comes with XP Pro. Change that to XP Home and you save $50. Change that to Linux and it costs the same as XP Home. They are not passing the savings to the consumer. (1 Reply)
