I'm still new to Linux, only been using it inside of a month on the laptop. It's really starting to grow on me though, it's WAY more stable and infinitely more customizable than XP, plus my 1.5 Celeron laptop feels like a fucking supercomputer running it.

Thumbs up, I think I'll keep it on there for a while, at least until I pick up a Macbook Pro and chuck that thing in the garbage.

Have you played with Compiz yet? People at work see my desktop and all the effects and they want it turned on. I tell 'em too bad, gotta get Linux. LOL

I switched since a patch from Microsoft broke the validation service in Vista 64-bit... It died 30 days later. F-ing POS Microsoft.

E30Matt...
How do you like Linux? I just started trying it out myself (Kubuntu 7.10 and hopefully Linux MCE later on). Definitely interesting and different than XP; but, it's still like Chinese to me.

OK, I'm not E30Matt, but I run Ubuntu 7.10 at work. I love it, and it's a huge improvement over 7.04. It's honestly one of the nicest Linux-based OS's I've dealt with. If you have some computer knowledge and some patience, you can really get Ubuntu setup so well, you'll never look back to Windoze. I still have Vista Business running on my work laptop and I'm just about ready to wipe it and go to Ubuntu as well.

Here's the only real advice I give.... If you have an ATI video card, ditch it and get an NVidia. It's so much easier. You *can* get the ATI to work, but it's just a real PIA.
