Was it as blue as the original BSOD? ^_^

Hmm...that's weird. Have you had that problem on the other distros you tried?

I came back to my computer after idling on Linux for 10 mins and it was in the root terminal with a stop/corruption message of some sort. I didn't think much of it, and just rebooted back into Windows lol. I don't use Linux very often, and I'm far more knowledgeable with Windows. You can get Windows to do whatever you want if you have the knowledge to do it. So I don't find Windows all that bad.

Well, maybe another distro will grab your attention (and not fail). I'm trying to make the switch to Arch, but I can't get my wireless cards working right (yes, I have two). It sucks cause I got every single thing working just fine, but not one of my wireless cards =[ . I may try again soon though.

I like Mint though, Ubuntu is too bulky and I don't feel like learning everything about Linux to have ease with Arch, i've used Arch in the past, but I can't find the motivation to learn Linux with some distro like that.
