The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Saw this today and it looks pretty cool. I'd like to try it out sometime over the Christmas break, but I don't have the disk space right now. What are your thoughts?

    a lot of your stuff won't work at first install. it is 100% free (as in freedom) software, so all binary driver blobs are out. go ahead and try it, as it's basically Ubuntu, just be prepared to do a lot of work to get some of the stuff on your laptop working.
