Thank you for your replies. Yeah, everything I need is pretty much working efficiently (graphics, sound, ethernet, and such). You're right, I want to use Wireless, I don't always stick to my desk you know.. but it's not working and I tried finding tutorials but all of them are for PowerBook G4 and old Apple computers like that; of course I tried their tutorials but no luck.

About the Ubuntu (9.04), I'd be glad to download and install it if you think it's good. As I told you, Linux Mint is the very first Linux OS that I ever tried, so I don't really know the difference you know. Also, the installation of Mint is pretty hard, having to do the partitions manually and stuff (because I don't like installing side by side) is tiring because I'm not used to all that, Windows XP installation FTW lol.

I am not sure if that's legal, but care providing me with an Ubuntu 9.04? Or do I have to pay for it? If I download it like warez (if it's not free), would I be able to get cracks or serials for it that actually work? Because well, I'm not and probably not going to be a permanent Linux user so I just want to give it a try, not worth paying if it's expensive and I know I am not going to find original versions of it in Egypt.

Thanks again.

EDIT - I am guessing it's free? I am downloading it from here Your Download will Start Shortly | Ubuntu and it doesn't say "Buy now" or "Trial" or anything like that. The thing is, I am downloading from a mirror in Belgium because almost all of the ones in North America and Africa are really slow, so I assume it's the same version and the download location has nothing to do with the installation (OS) language, right?
