    You are going to try a mere ten Linux distros? When there are hundreds and hundreds available?

    I call "not having enough time to play these days" ;):D:p

    I'm sure that you aren't in a hurry.

    I may have to settle for W7 for the time being..... the xmas tree going up later will restrict physical access to the keyboard and mouse :mad:


    ..... the good thing is with the tree up I can't see the tv properly from my seat, so won't have to put up with all the "xmas specials" they insist on showing this time of year :p

    Oh....I see that I've given the BIOS update for the GX270. You have the [STRIKE]SX270[/STRIKE]SX260. This is why we like Service Tags. :) So...let's start again with the Service Tag.

    I have just PM'd you Nifty :) Anyhows, Service Tag is F24MM0J.

    BIOS is now at A03 (latest I could find for the 260, updated sometime in 2011), W7 32-bit installed, SP1 is in, and it's on the post-SP1 updates....the waiting has begun.....

    That's how I see DCM in my minds eye. :beer:
    I'm similar but a couple of years younger and more handsome.

    I don't want to be the one to state the blindingly obvious...but your Service Tag indicates the GX260 for which the latest BIOS is the A09.
    I'm beginning to get a headache. :rotfl:
