Also, I included the time to install apps as well, not just the OS (even though linux installed faster than Win2000). I put around 30 apps on each, and this is where the time difference really shows up. I can't tell you how tired I got from rebooting Win2000 for the 30th time. :-) Linux is clearly better in installing new apps. I don't restart after every install. Most of the time it runs anyways without a problem and restarting is unneeded. But if i do have to restart, i only restart AFTER i'm done. CH My friends all have Windoze. Likewise, but there is significant interest in other OS's. CH They send me windoze programs and we play Windoze games and run CH Windoze stuff. I run a LOT of Win apps, mostly 'serious' software. I rarely play games. If your main interest is in playing games, especially the very latest game craze, Win is probably better. Once and awhile it's good stress reliver if you play GTA3. -- Thank you, rikona mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
