I to Know the pain your going through trying to find an OS to run Your laptop I too looked for a long time through OS's when i bought my laptop. My choice was the vista 64 bit but depending on what you want to do with your laptop that may not be the right one for you What i do want you to know is the whole big deal about vista being so much worse than xp is allot of crap and soon xp will be obsolete when win7 comes out. finally i would like to advise you not to try win7 yet there are a few bugs in the program that need to be dealt with first and I'm also not sure if your processor is up to the task. so i would have to say stick with vista. However I would partition my hard drive and put Linux on too.
From questioner: Of course I'm going to put Linux on that badboy. I'll probably try and throw windows 7 on there too just for kicks. But, I suppose I'll put vista 64 on as my main Os. The lappy has a dual core at 1.8ghz so, I'm sure it can handle 7 if I want it to. I totally agree about xp. I don't see why people keep doggin vista. I like vista and I haven't had any more problems with vista than I've had with xp. In fact, vista is alot better as far as I've seen.
From Answerer: Im glad to see i could help you a little but i forgot to ask what Linux are you puttting on your system?
From Questioner: I think it'll be ubuntu unless you have a better suggestion. I installed it on my m275 and everything worked from the get go, except for the tablet features. So, I think I'll go with that. If you have a better idea for a Linux OS, I'd appreciate if you'd comment on my blog in the article dv2415 OS performance review. Just Google "the crumpled room" and it should come right up. Thanks again, I appreciate it.

If you configure the server correctly, it should work. You could always run Linux in a virtual machine, and install it there. The best route is probably to just install Linux straight onto your machine, though. You don't have to wipe Vista to do that -- Google "dual booting".

You bought a new computer with Vista pre-installed you were not happy with Vista so you bought a new hard drive and installed Windows XP Pro on it Now your computer will no longer go on standby?
Sounds like a problem with Windows XP. What you should have tried to do is take the original hard drive, put in the xp install disk, to the install, choose to format the hard drive, and then continue with the XP install. BTW: XP > Vista. Linux > XP. You should install Linux, instead of XP.
You are running Linux and had vista as well but now you want vista off how do you do that?
You could do a couple of things. I think the easiest would be to use the CD you installed Linux with to delete to partition that Vista is sitting on. Or you could download a partitioning tool and remove the partition that way. It all boils down to removing that partition though.
Can you dual-boot Windows Vista and Linux?
Yes. Doing so isn't particularly difficult, and most Linux installation discs can guide you through the process.
What is the name of kernel in Unix Linux and Windows Vista?
As Unix isn't any particular operating system, there is no distinct name for the kernel. Different versions of Unix may have vastly different kernel structures. The Linux kernel is called, well, the Linux kernel. The Vista kernel is a continuation of the "NT kernel" designed for Windows NT 3.1.
Do you have to install Windows Vista?
No, you do not have. There are some computer which can use vista only (dell and others). But you still can find drivers for such computers on different websites and install, for instance, linux.
