Confusion!

Well, today morning I was very much disturbed by the low disk space in my gear. I was kind of thinking about buying a new hard drive. But, I also have in my mind about buying a new laptop. To be honest, I want to run linux in my gear. That was the reason behind worrying my to buy a new hard drive. But I think that laptop is a good go as it can do a lot more stuff that a drive can't do. That too I can install my dream linux in that and I can lso take that along with me to my hostel. But financially it hits my wallet too much!
