I've played with Linux a few times. My only opinion is that .... YES, Linux is a good OS ... a damn good one no less. It does what probably is the only thing Windows can't do very well. Be an Operating System. In that respect ... Linux is good.
However, the current problem with Linux is that of Application Support. Kinda like the way DOS and Windows 3.11 is now. How many DOS/3.11 applications are there out there?? I mean, currently?? Another problem is Hardware support. When you buy a product, you see a Windows driver floppy/CD. Where is the Linux one?? There are... but not many.

Linux people are enthusiastic and have a good OS to recommend (from what I hear) but are not likely to help a non-professional windows user fully appreciate all of the hazards and problems that can come up. Since used computers seem to be a robust and affordable option in my local paper, I'm thinking the next time I can just buy one of them, install an alternate OS, and then not have to mess with this concept of more than one OS on a hard drive unless it's a non-essential hard-drive. --------------------------------------------- Introducing NetZero Long Distance 1st month Free!
