You probably won't be able to play all DVDs as Linux is not commercially made but by a worldwide community. This means that companies won't licence Linux media players to be able to play encoded DVDs and similar. You cannot use windows software on it either. There is a Linux skype available I have linux on a laptop and its great. I also use Linux on my PC sometimes. it is totally different to XP or Vista but you can use it just as well once you're used to it. The main thing is that it keeps costs down on laptops etc and you can dowload legal free full versions from the internet. Read more here. I'm guessing that having Vista probably puts £100 + on the price of the computer. Linux is very different from Windows.

I suggest using Ubuntu if you want to use it. Here is a site to help you out: Link2: Oh and dont forget, its all free too! hehe.

Today Linux is very similar in terms of files, directories, web browsers, etc., but it is also a lot more powerful, and it gives you more control. You are able to use Skype on it, yes.= You can play cd's and watch DVDs. You can do practically all of that stuff, and more! There's tons of help on the Internet for newbie Linux users, so never feel lost. I must tell you though that Linux laptops have the highest return rate-- Windows users are just not ready for it! ~Purr Linux is easy to use; but it might be a little difficult coming from Windows, and knowing how to do everything the Windows way.
