I recently purchased a Sony Viao on sale. It came with Vista Home Premium installed. There is also a ton of other software installed. When I boot up there are 85 processes running. Needless to say it runs really slow.

I intend to uninstall Vista. Is there anywhere I can go to get a step by step instruction? I intend to install SuSe Linux.

Any suggestions/guidance/recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I have my own business and plan to use the laptop while on travel.

Thanks in advance.
