What in particular do you dislike about laptops? Also, could you not just dual boot two installations of kubuntu on the same machine?From: Neil Winchurst <barnaby@xxxxxxxxxx> To: list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: 6.9.'09, 12:30 I use kubuntu which is updated every six months. Since I don't really trust upgrades I usually just do a new install whenever I decide to upgrade. (Which is not every six months by the way. More like every 18 months.)This means messing about with transferring backups to the new install and lots of playing around with the new version to get it as I like. Plus some aggro from daughter about missing files. Anyway, although I do not like them, I am considering getting a laptop as a sort of test bed. I can then install the latest version and play around with it to see if I am going to like it or not before committing to it. All of this without causing any problems with my current version. And I might even get to like laptops!! Since I know so little about what is out there I am looking for some advice such as would a refurbished (and so cheaper) laptop be a sensible option? are there any makes to avoid? are there any makes to seriously consider? any recommendations gratefully received Thanks Neil
