It’s been about 8 years since I gave Linux a real chance. I have an Sony VAIO PCG-3D3l Laptop which was abandoned by it’s previous owner.

I have no real plans for it, except to install Linux, and if I get comfortable with it, it’s probably what I will end up doing my banking on, because as much as I love Windows, I can’t say I ever feel secure using Windows.

What are your recommendations? I consider myself an advanced user with most forms of technology (Have an A+ certification that’s older than this laptop), but not on the level most of the people reading this are probably on.

    Maybe I’ll do the newbie thing and keep trying out different distros,

    My dude some people never stop distrohopping, it’s not necessarily a “newbie thing.” Do whatever you want, that’s the beauty of it!

      I guess im diving right in. I also have a laptop of my own, with better specs I’m installing linux on now as i type. This one im going to experiement with more, and leave the other one as my banking PC.
