My OperaMerry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone 
Today I'll tell you the main present I got this Christmas.
I received an eMachine ET1331G-03w Computer. Although this brand is basically generic this does not mean it is not powerful.
Specs:
This is an nice present, I love semi-powerful computers (who doesn't?)
Start-up for me is18 27 seconds, compared to the Vista -- which is about 2 minutes (never timed the Vista, just using an empirical basis). As for whether I will put a Linux on it, I probably will not. I will probably wait and use a Linux Distro in college.
Setting this up was a devil though, I had to get a Wi-fi Network adapter for this, which, as it turned out, was not compatible with Windows 7. Resulting from, I had to find out how to make it work with Windows 7 which wasted a few hours and dollars. (To make it work on Windows 7 pretend you are Vista by Right click > Troubleshoot Capabilities)
Merry Christmas to everyone
Addendum: The GPU is terrible, all else is fine.

The lighting is not that flattering and it didn't turn out will. I am using a small TV as the monitor, my computer and Wii are connected to it. Remember to check out the latest 10.5 build, it contains Audio and Video!!

If you're not going to use the 750GB Hard Drive, there's no reason you shouldn't try out linux. It's designed to be installed on a computer that already runs another OS without overwriting anything.
Btw, my favourite is Kubuntu
