I was going to have to get a new Live CD anyway, because the hard drive they replaced under the warranty is different to the old one, and the Linux I had doesn’t detect the new one. I’m not complaining, as the hard drive they put in is twice as big! (Not sure whether they realised. I would have told them myself had I realised straight away, but I didn’t realise until I had nearly everything set up.)

I’ll look into installing Linux then. Not sure how much I’d use it to be honest, because I have everything so cusstomised in Windows now, and now I use portable applications for a lot of things, I like having everything configured exactly the same at home and at work, but even just for doing backups I’d find it useful. I also think I might find some good programmes for batch processing files I want to keep on my hard drive (glossaries and reference text I’ve downloaded from the Internet).
