linux. Got the machine in November, and
supposedly those issues have
been worked out, but I can't get around them.
So I guess a gotcha is if you don't check all the hardware for drivers
first.
My understanding is that there are still fewer 64-bit device drivers
than 32-bit ones. I don't know. Only computer I've encountered that
wouldn't run Linux was an old Dell; it would try to boot but nothing I
tried would get it past freezing. But I'm a bottom feeder, 64-bit
machines aren't in my price range.
