    Converting to Linux

    Hello all, I am summing up parts to create a new custom computer and have Linux installed on it (Dual Booting...Not for me....Plus I want to play with Linux - Windows networking and cross development......Plus I just need any excuse for a second computer to have that 'lab' feel at my place, lol!).

    I heard that some Linux distributions, and Linux in general has problems with some hardware...But I'm really in the dark about all this. Does anybody here care to elaborate on this problem, or dispell any popular myths? It'll be much appreciated.

    And by the way, I am thinking about getting the Fedora distribution.

    - Twigstar

    Ah man - Might as well kill two birds in one stone...I'm a C++ user - I've heard that Eclipse is a good IDE to use with the Linux enviroment (I'm a VS.NET user myself under windows)...I would absolutly love recommendations

    Cheers again
