    I've tried it out, but I could never find the drivers to get my computer out of 640x480. All the drivers availible for my video card don't work. Once you have a visual interface running it's not much harder than windows.

    I never had the time to learn linux. I bought the red hat 9 bible. I installed the system with win 2k on another partition. But then I had to uninstall and that was a pain. I did it wrong so I had to reinstall win2k as a clean install. IM glad that worked. I didnt lose my data just had to reinstall all my programs to work. One day, I will mess with linux a little more and learn it better.

    yup yup
    running mandrake linux 9.2
    and of course UNIX OSX 10.3 Panther


    yea yea, I also have my win xp pro machine blegh!

    Linux isn't that difficult to use if just for normal word processing and surfing needs. But there's just so much more potential compared to windows.

    I suggest you just do a clean install of windows
    You do not want to do programming in the kernel unless you know what you're doing
