Hi Gareth,

Do yourself a favour and dump Vista!

64 bit Vista Home Premium came pre-installed on my new quad core desktop PC. 
Vista was still slow on this fast PC!

I've now got 32 bit XP and 64 bit Debian v5 set up to dual boot. IMHO, XP 
knocks the socks off Vista, but I'm no great fan of Microsoft.

I've used SUSE Linux for some years now (since version 5.2 !) and am 
experimenting with Debian while waiting for the release of SUSE v11.1. 
However, Debian 5 is looking good so I might (?) stay with it.

Likewise! I have no great skills. I'm strictly an amateur.  ;-)

Hope to see you on tomorrow evening.
