I also thought this would be a discussion of the merits of different linux distributions.
As a long time windoz user, I find Ubuntu (Dapper Drake 6.06) quite fascinating. I've used both Red Hat and Suse Linux in the past and didn't feel compelled. Ubuntu is different though - I plan this as an eventual replacement for xp pro when ms ends updates in a few more yrs. (No Vista for me - I like building my own machines and retail Vista is TOO expensive.) Wine should allow me to run most of my favorite windoz apps.
