You disappear for over a year, then come back with a flame inducing
thread?  Nice.....

When it comes to OS's, right tool for the job.

Linux desktop #1 runs Debian
Linux desktop #2 runs Fedora
Winderz desktop runs XP SP2
Work laptop runs XP SP2

For general use, I flop between Debian and XP desktops.  It depends on
what I'm doing.  90% of the time I'm just surfing or e-mailing, so I
don't care about OS at that point.  I use Debian because I find it
less problematic and lighter weight than any of the other popular
distros.  I run Fedora on desktop #2 for my ham radio stuff.  Bob is
heavily involved with getting ham packages into Fedora, so I want to
lend a hand in that effort.  I should note that those packages already
exist in Debian :-)

At my old job I was running Fedora because of issues with an ATI card
in my laptop.  It seemed that no other distro could handle that card
correctly.  I found Fedora to be sluggish but useable.
