I run also Windows 7Pro, Ubuntu 64, & Linux Mint Julia on this same box. Its a toy. I have had only some issues which I've overcome with flash as some others have mentioned. I use Firefox & Google Chrome as my browsers of choice. I prefer Google Chrome. My acid test for this system, how many tabs can I open in Chrome & actively use before it crashes. I play an online browser MMR so Its 100% actively updating each tab continuously. In Debian, its 11 tabs, Windows 7 pro, its 19 tabs, Linux mint its 9, Ubuntu its 9. I am not sure why there is a difference, so I run Debian when I have the box running in a web server mode, which is most of the time. I use Windows for personal entertainment, & Linux Mint for system maint. Ubuntu is used for system back up purposes. Each OS is running on its on 1 TB drive so no issues there. As a web server I run a data based (postgresql) photo gallery for my family & its huge. I dont know if this helps but I thought I might share my experiences rather than just my opinions. YMMV' John
