can you change the p[erating system from windows to linux?

Yes is easy since it comes with win7. Also you can add Linux too, but u have to disable RAID, to access the Tera disk individually.

I haven't triedBut I do know that if you use vmware you can use a virtual machine of mac or Linux.If I were you I would not try to install Linux directly on the laptop.For one thing if you did you would have to find all of the drivers for the Alienware and that takes a lot of time to do. You could also ruin the machine in the long run.Just use a virtual machine

I haven't tried but I have every reason to believe so, it is just a standard PC architecture.

I don't think so. its seems you are set up with a dual operating systems you have the choise of booting to windows 7 or linux mint but you vcan not run both operating system at the same time.

You should be able to. I was able to reformat it to ext4 for a Linux data drive with no problems.

Yes, there is a Windows button left of Space and between Alt and Ctrl buttons. I can't tell about functionality because I use Linux OS.

Unfortunately not, I bet you could troll around google and find some drivers but it doesn't come with any and Windows is clueless. As always, the cheapest solutions turns out to be the worst one :)

Hi my friend I've never used the programmer with Linux only windows..my advise is to load a virtual machine windows 7 for your aplication..good luck

Yes. You can move everything over. What's programs that are not compatible would just need to be installed with the correct install.

I don't know for sure, but if it takes a 2 1/2 inch laptop drive, it should work.Take the drive you have in it now and Google the model numbers on it to see what is out there as a replacement or what is compatible. Hope you have a restore disk for your computer that will replace the Operating System on the new drive or you will have to buy a restore disk (never cheap) or buy a new OS. Best to go Linux for free and get away from all the Microsoft problems and prices.

I wish I could answer that question but I don't have a Linux computer and I don't know anyone that does. But the installation booklet that came with it only had information for Windows and Mac.

No, not yet. Windows doesn't currently support it. Hopefully they'll work that out soon.

Yes, and it works very well. One caveat, it requires making changes and configurations. There is a link which provides, Google Phil's Project Blog. His information is the best that I came across. Read the blog and decide if you are up to this. My recommendation is that it is worthwhile and will give you a better understanding on Linux configuration.

One way Download third-party software to change it, or you can change it from Control Panel, i remember WIN8 can change language to any language you want

I can imagine it wouldn't unless Linux requires sokeyboard.al key legend not on a PC kwyboard

Not sure. I would suggest you to use a flash drive to install linux stuff instead.

The unit that I received did not. Since I am not thrilled Windows XP, due to it's high maintenance, I wiped the drive and installed Linux Ubuntu v 14.04 which has worked flawlessly. The only downside is that for games, this unit is not great. Otherwise, it works very well.
