Thanks for the input. I did go ahead and install Ubuntu....I decided it might be best to keep consistency across the three machines I'm using! Installation was a breeze. I'm still trying to adapt to unity and finding the apps/packages to use to get my routine needs met, but despite the dual boot on 2 of the 3 computers the only time I've booted into windows has been to re-pair my mouse when switching it from location to location and to update outlook calendar to sync it up to U1 to sync into Evolution. I think I now have google calendar syncing with my iPhone and then also with Evolution so it's just those occasional apps that don't have adequate substitutes yet! I'm loving it! It's so much faster and cleaner! I think it's great that Dell supports the Linux community and provides PC's with linux systems! Definitely a selling point for me when I finally decide to upgrade!
