Pro tip installing Linux on a new "windows 8" laptop - UEFI SecureBoot is probably turned on. Either turn off SecureBoot and turn on LegacyBoot, or use a distro that supports SecureBoot like Ubuntu 12.10 and above or the latest Fedora beta.

Hi Jim, had play with PCLinux LXDE and the OpenBox, both worked well, but as to be expect the OpenBox had more apps then LXDE.

PCLinuxOS
At the August meeting, I gave some live CD copies of three different versions of PCLinuxOS. I wonder if anybody has tried them out yet.

My desktop spat the dummy, now time to replace it. I have been a fan of Asus gear, except for hard drives.
I do some video editing, a bit of desk top publishing and hope to do some interactive education stuff. Not into games at all. Any suggestions, usually used AMD CPU but not too precious about that. Would like quiet system and be able to run digital TV through it. Will run Linux of course; been using Ubuntu 10.04. Thanks in anticipation.
