Hi :) The trick is finding the easiest fastest answer for whatever hardware, resources and experience you have at the time. The best answer for a normal desktop is not likely to be best for a netbook and the best answer for a netbook is likely to be over-complicated compared to other answers available for a normal desktop. For a normal desktop it's just; 1. about 2 screws and 1 unplug to avoid needing to fix anything
2. If you still have a distro's Cd/Dvd or Usb then you can fix it from there.
