You might have problems installing Linux on a laptop, especially with the drivers
Best thing to do is NOT remove Windows, but install linux on a secondary partition and try it there first. Alternatively, you can check if you can run Linux on your laptop by trying a liveCD first, e.g. Knoppix. This is a complete OS that runs without installation straight from the CD drive. More info: http://www.knoppix.org/ http://www.knoppix.net/ |
