Windows 8.1 has more than three partitions on the hard drive...so you just can't do a auto download and install with Ubuntu or linux mint on Windows 8. You have to manually partition for home..root.. and swap. Plus Win 8 has a UEFI?
Definitely not trying that one as of yet. I actually use this laptop for college books and to play games and to do various other things right now. Maybe when it gets a lil older
Just go with mint 13 until you upgrade the computer and then go for bigger. Shoot all you need to upgrade is more ram...
just burned 13 iso to a dvd. I just have to set up the ol inspiron somewhere round here. may have to wait a while til i get some things done.I'll probably hook the ethernet cable up too to make sure the drivers and whatever is installed. I remember this computer running so slow before, i'm really curious how much better it will preform.
