Wow, no ads, that's a surprise, but I still prefer Firefox over Opera anyway, Opera's layout seems too cluttered to me.

I'll still have it there anyway, if not for any reason other than I'm too scared to ger rid of it as I don't know whether its a shortcut or not.

I've tried many Linux distros and I can tell you with confidence that Ubuntu is the best I have tried. Anyway, keep me informed. You have my e-mail address, right?
Ubuntu is the distro I had decided to try anyway, so long as it is compatible with the wireless thing.
