Hello.
Being a Linux user family I wanted a new laptop for my daughter for her uni work so I have just got this one for her for xmas. (see spec below).
We use PCLinuxOS
I had no problems installing pclinuxos KDE minime 2012.8 (this is mainly for advanced users).
I also tried pclinuxos KDE 2012.12 (for newer users) and pclinuxos LXDE 2012.12 with no problems.
Also worked DSL,Mint, Mepis, Cenos, Debian, Manerva.
If you do try Any Linux distro on your computer and have problems it's best to join the forums of the distro to ask for help, the pclinux forum is so helpful .
