Linux runs excellently on my laptop. No problems at all. Much faster than any version of Windows.
PS: I haven't yet been able to get 1024 X 768 resolution on my laptop.

I hate to 'burst your bubble', but screenshots from a laptop can be made to look exactly like screenshots from a desktop, and vice-versa. Same resolutions, same environments, etc. Now, if you want to post a picture of your computer, I can see that being of some relevance. Also notice that the 'Post your screenshot' thread is in General, people posting screenshots in this forum are not actually giving technical support, I feel that this is not worth a post count.
