Every machine i run runs Linux. My playstation and netbook are set up almost as described above. However, these two systems are no more linux machines than the fedora desktop I'm replying to you on, or the debian install on my laptop. You seem to be making a no true Scotsmen fallacy with linux distros. By what logic is a distro that you have optimised for your platform any more "true" than a general system which is slightly slower but has the exact same packages installed as the first?
Hoi Zaeme.
