Upgraded

Finally, my laptop has been formatted after 3 years of usage. Tak pernah format pun sejak beli dulu. Thanks to Ahmad Faiz sebab tolong format and upgrade to Windows 7. Now my problem is... Macamana nak install codeblocks or knoppix to my laptop? Semua untuk Vista je. Tak compatible for Windows 7. Macamana nak berprogramming ni. Sigh. Please help.
