Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? <br><br>Well, as is typically the case, it is. Linux is not for the faint of heart, and it's not for persons who are heavily invested in Windows software. I run SUSE Linux on an experimental web server. It's much nicer than my recollections of HP-UX in the old days (previous life incarnation), but I have no plans to migrate to any Linux desktop any time soon.
<br><br>If all you use your computer for is email, surfing the net, a document or spreadsheet, and perhaps an occasional game, then Linux is not necessarily a bad choice... IF you have a family member or friend to keep it up-to-date, or if you're a better nerd than I, then go for it. Otherwise, it's best left to the geeks that it's intended for.
<br><br>Linux is NOT Windows. It is not a Windows replacement. It is a different beast, and it can be quite the beast.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 1/31/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Hechler Family</b> <<a href="mailto:dahechler@charter.net">
