Anybody running Linux?

I just purchased a new laptop Dell Inspiron 15. I promptly formatted the hard drive and installed full Windows 7 pro (I'm not anti-Windows 8, just haven't heard any advantages it has relevent to me. And I am anti-OEM software, I prefer full version from Microsoft without all the freebie's and trial software, etc...)

I left a 50G partition so I can dual boot Linux.

 

playonlinux is way overkill.

Now that i have loads of free time i don't have a scanner/printer with me to test this out. :/

 

Fedora I like. Happy it makes me.

 

I'm dual booting Windows 7 and Mint.

 

I too have a duel boot machine windows 7 / xubuntu. But I have experimented with quite a few different distributions ( ubuntu/xubuntu, fedora, mint, openSUSE, pclinuxos, centos, crunchbang, kali(formerly backtrack), bodhi, debian, and a few others). Most of them was tested in virtualbox. I rarely ever use windows 7. And after all the playing, I wish I would have just went with debian. I'm most familiar with the package manager apt-get, so that's probably why I prefer the debian based distro's and it's easiest for me to set up the rolling release type setup. But all of them have their strengths.
I've heard Gentoo is amazing once it's set up correctly and one knows what they are doing with portage and flags.
