Sorry for a bad question.:-[

Thanks for a really good answer.:-)

I am looking for a new laptop and when bought will pop out the windows 
drive and store it.
Pop in this new drive and do a multi install of Ubuntu 11.04 and Fedora 
15 and maybe Mandriva or any distro that may take my fancy.
Good day
