It's exactly that beast - really amazing! The last time I had the 
impression to make a technological leap was many years ago. I'll try to 
install GNAT without changing the system: the idea is to have at least 
the same comfort as on Windows (and for what I can tell now all the 
pre-installed stuff by Acer is a lot faster and easier to use).
I have some ancient exposure to Unix (sgi) which helps for the more 
technical side.
Thanks all for your help!
