Just wondered if anyone had any positive or negative experiences with<br>
an Acer Aspire AS5515 running Linux? I am thinking about getting one<br>

Since pretty much every computer now supports bootable usb devices life is easier. When I bought my last computer I had to go during off hours so the sales people were idle enough to help me access the cdrom drives to test w/ a live cd.<br>
