Re: [PLUG] distro for laptop?
|
I actualy shelled out for the Pro version for 2
reasons. 1. I wanted to dvd because it makes it alot
easier to install. 2. I wanted to support the company.
Admittedly, I should have ordered it directly from
them to help their margins but I bought it retail
either way.
