I've dabbled with SUSE Linux and Ubunto. I liked them. I liked that it seemed more stable and efficient than Windows. XP is by far the most stable MS OS but Vista is proving to be a nightmare. I believe Linux is now a viable alternative to Windows although there are some compatibility issues with Office type files. There are also a few web sites that are pretty hostile to browsers other than IE. Linux can be a bit tricky but I find that it is just a case of it being a bit different. I'm dabbling with Mac now and running a Win XP virtual machine on the box. A challenge indeed.
