You can . Installation is straight forward , once you get it installed you will see an icon in the bottom right corner of the screen that looks like a shield with a blue dot in it . Click on it and it will open your update manager , click on install updates and it will ask for your password , type in your password and it will update itself and refresh itself , presenting you with more updates to install , same process , but it'll take awhile to complete , after that's done you can play around with it or you can click on edit at the top left of the update manager you'll see the option for upgading to 17.3 , same process again , upgrade , reboot and you'll have to open the update manager and get the updates for 17.3 . After that you can hit the menu button in the lower left corner of the screen same as windows , click on system then scroll down to software manager click on it and it'll open a window and youcan start looking at apps to install , you'll find Firefox in the internet section of the menu if you want to go online . Linux Mint xfce functions the same way Windows 7 does , you should have no problem in navigating the menus . holler back once you get it installed . I'll have links and suggestions for you .
Ok so besides the new OS, Internet Explorer will go as well? I'm not bothered if it is, but will it affect things like my email address, wi fi codes and such?

Ordered! Thanks for the heads up. I have been going to the website every day, a couple of times a day, and hadn't seen it yet. Yes I checked this morning also ROFL.
HHV has sold 7 in the first two hours.

Nice to see you upgrade. It was a big leap for you to go from Novas to the KFL. It was time for another leap. :)

The upgrade from the Vivi Nova was a huge step for me. This is just a little step. ;)

Chak, thanks for the recommendation for Thailand. I was born in Texas, and I'll probably die in Texas. Most of my family has been here for several generations. I have been looking at maps with higher elevation, that isn't too far away. I'm probably not the only one doing that.

As far as Linux goes, I do have a couple of older computers. I could try Linux on there first possibly. If I mess them up, it is no huge loss. I wasn't using them anyway.

That was a huge step. The K5, as you suggest, is not as big a leap but don't sell it short either. You'll get the easy top fill, adjustable airflow, removable deck, and (the best part) improved flavor.

    Yup IE will go , it won't affect email at all , you'll probably have to reset your Wifi code during installation but it will pick up on the connection and it'll function the same as windows after that .

    I got a Chalice III for the Squonker today. Got it off the classies. All I can say is wow.
    Still try to buy an sva squonker but haven't thought about the atty yet. I heard the chalice is awesome. Is that a top or bottom air flow? Got a buddy who swears by top airflow unlike the rm2 I use to own

    Cool , how's the flavor from it ?

    I have two, each on a VV Grand. They are incredible. Strictly for M-T-L vapers, these little babies are the best I've come across. Better than the Achilles, the Veritas, Kayfuns, and the RM2. Yes, I said it is better than the RM2.
    The AFC is at the top, and the intake comes down between two walls to the lower part of the chamber. "Z" coils position directly above the center feed port. Mark Bugs' Chalice III is machined impeccably. Best atty I have owned thus far.
    There is an ECF Member named extreme101. Either he robbed a vape store or he got an incredible deal through a co-op, but he has been selling these for around $75 on the classies.
