My way of dealing with it all, was to quickly learn to dual linux boot , so that I have and retain a fully serviceable linux OS to use while fixing the new linux OS to perfection. I don't think there is a finite end. It's just a facinating thing that when I thought I had it all, something else that I haddn't thought of was waiting just around the corner to reawaken a new interest, so yes, it's addictive, but then so is learning in general and that ain't a bad thing. After a while you will find hardly a reason to boot windblows. I never seem to log onto the web in windblows anymore, no loss, didn't like Outshed Expelled much even when I had no other choice, and Infernel exploder wasn't so hot , and pales compared to the Mozzy.The only time I boot windblows is to use those apps which are only available to windblows , and these are commercial apps needed for such things as accounting, and that have become the industry standards, and for which linux is unlikely to ever have the exact same equivelent. If I had a personal wish list to fulfill maybe it would be that much more time was avaibale to install and test release candidates, before official release, and to my mind 6 months between release candidates,seems impossibly short a time scale , but then who am I to say, I know nothing about writing software. The quality of release candidates does not seems so high as it may be if more time was available to test and fix problems. That's just a newbie impression. Not a factual statement. I don't really know. But yes, I suppose it is addictive, but in a pleasureable sort of way. Last week I spent just about a week getting a CVS mplayer on , up , and fully working in all departments including the all important mencoder section, took a lot of patience, and I still don't precisely know what caused the one particular problem , and precisely how I solved it, or rather what I did to solve it , that made the difference.

When I think of computers as just another tool, it is easy to say yes when it does what you need. I have some boxes I have not messed with for a long time. The problem comes when I look at the computer as a toy/hobby/interesting-thing, etc. It then becomes difficult to resist fiddling with it. It is not 'just a tool'.
