Finally managed a fresh windows install where I shrunk volumes and created multiple drives on my HD so I can't bitch and moan about how i can't use windows when I'm trying to do something like gaming. I'll try to keep this thread updated once I finish the installation process and get a browser. I will say the first thing I always have the most trouble with is installing drivers on a new linux distro. If anyone has any pointers on how to do that, I'd love to hear.
*ubuntu I know that but I forget.
*Having issues with installation. Swap file and partition confusion on my part. Not too sure what to do.

I've been running Mint on my dell 1525 for some time and though I might try ubuntu, All I had was 12 on DVD and after 45 minutes finished install and I click on upgrade to 14. 50 minutes and still waiting on upgrade. Mint fresh install and update took a half hour or so.
