I mean to install linux and this will help. Before I do I think that I need to get a backup drive first. (Why? This laptop only comes with recovery media that will "take me back to before I ever touched the computer" and I (educated) guess that installing linux will shut things down more than once. LOL) Any suggestions on a backup drive? Prolly want a kit. Prolly good in the USA and in EU (specifically NL). Am in a major USA city at the moment. TKR .
