If its a slightly older machine, be aware there could be hardware issues
windows doesn't notice that make linux go "urk". Most common are so
called "sig11" probs from bad CPU/RAM/cache, and NVidia card problems
(nvidia refuse to document their cards so need binary drivers from
nvidia.com to get full accel support).

If you have no weird "core" hardware you should be fine.
