My laptop just shit the bed. It's fine, it's 7+ years old (or maybe even 8+, not sure it's been so long) and I've gotten far more than average life out of it.
Nevertheless, it needs to be replaced. It's the physical aspects of it that are crumbling, not the internal or s/w ones.
All I really need is a "blank" laptop since all the new ones come w/ Windows 7 which I hate.
I own XP so I can reinstall that over anything that I buy. But where can I get a list of which programs work w/ Linux? Should I consider using Linux? (I don't need a litany of reasons, just whether or not it's practical, etc. I know it's better by my understanding than Windows.)
I still use Outlook Express, which XP supports. Can it be run on Linux?
... or should I just buy a plain laptop and install XP over whatever's on it?
I'm so confused ...
