Hi,

I would state this even stronger :-)

I had a friend give me a Dell Precision M70 which, under XP was beyond useless,
and under OpenBSD 4.7 it just flies.  Very very very nice.

From my POV, it is perfect and works perfectly.  Do note, my definition
of perfect and your definition of perfect might not be the same...
Ie, I think that cwm is the best of all worlds for window managers, an opinion
not necessarly shared by the rest of the world.

When you get away from the OS that came with the system, you run the
risk that not all the devices will work quite as well as they worked with
the factory standard OS.  That said, you get an OS that is far nicer.

cheers
