Hi, I have been a Debian user for I'd guess 7 or 8 years now. I would like to thank all of you that helped create a system that is so useful. Despite using it for so long I am far from a power users, I basically rely on the fact that it works well (or if it doesn't it will soon :-)).
My current computer is also about that old and I am finally planning on buying some new hardware. A lot of stuff has changed in that time that's new to me, so I would like to ask some general questions before I purchase to save some potential headaches later. I guess one of the 1st issues I might have to deal with is UEFI, since if there are any issues with that it could show up when trying to install the OS. At the moment I'm not planning on installing another OS on the computer, but that may change. I do have Windows XP on my current system, but I will probably leave it there. I have considered installed another Linux distribution in the future just to see how it may be different. Hopefully different distributions of Linux will play nicely, at least as far as the question of UEFI. So, to sum it up, what do I need to know about Linux, or Debian, and UEFI?
