To be fair though, Linux has a lot more problems with wireless than Windows does. Statistics would indicate that eventually the issue would go in reverse, but it's pretty rare.

I've had quite a few wireless enabled desktops and laptops at home. Not once did I have an issue with configuring wireless under Linux. The USB wireless adapter attached to that Win 7 PC now has worked with XP and Vista (using the client software) but Win 7 has decided to semi-foobar it!

BTW, I did install the USB wireless adapter client software, it works as per windows wireless except again, not being able to get an IP address from DHCP.

Nice to see old laptops getting a second lease of life with Linux. I've recently acquired an 11 year old desktop with 128MB RAM, once I've finished playing about on it I will put it to good use as something like an mp3/radio streaming server attached to my hi-fi system.

LOL, I feel like that sometimes. When I see an opportunity for Linux to be used I put my case forward and usually get ignored. It usually costs that person a lot of time, trouble and money for their alternate decision

Actually, I take that back. We do run some version of Linux on our thin clients. That's something! But we only use them as cash registers which are the minority of our machines.
