Thanks for all the suggestions - I've been leaning towards giving it away but I'd seem like a complete asshole if Gateway's repairs were only superficial so I'll just dig up my Ubuntu discs and make it my dedicated Linux box. I figured that if it lasts until I buy another laptop/desktop then I'll just swap the hd and give it away.

Ubuntu is all the hype. Give that a shot, I personally recommend Xubuntu (Ubuntu with XFCE instead of GNOME).

I think that's what I'll do since I've been getting pretty comfortable using Ubuntu and was only turned off by the boring interface...looks like my next stop is the Linux thread.
Thanks guys.
