Everyone is definately entitled to there opinion. Personally I just really enjoy linux. Windows is nice, but it seems to me that linux has much more power, but a persion must know a lot about computers in order to get it up and running.

I ran SuSE 8.1 for a year, but I did not like the idea of having to purchase another distro to upgrade. There was a way to do a distro upgrade using the apt program, but I failed and my system was rendered useless. I went back to Windows XP Home.

Home is nice, but linux presents more of a challenge. I have to partcially agree with prog-bman, windows 3.1. is kind of nice.

My first computer was a 286 12Mhz, 30meg 4MB RAM HD, 51/4 Floppy with MSDOS 5.0, and then it was a 386sx 12Mhz with MSDOS and windows 3.1. Spent a lot of time on that system, so there is always a place in me for 16bit.

Basically linux is linux. Pick your distro and roar with it. Have a blast and enjoy that free software.
