Why do you need linux? I wouldn't. I tried linux and I got very pissed since I don't know how to use it.
I always had to format to get rid of it too. (damn boot loaders) |

I don't know about you, but I use linux because it is fast, reliable and virus-proof. Above all, it is free, if I may quote: "Free as in freedom, not as in free beer."
It can coexist with other operating systems on the same disk. This is not trouble at all. |

I don't see myself switching to Linux for the foreseeable future, as all my work are done using Mac and Windows. There are so few apps that run on Linux I don't see any practical value in it for me. Besides you have to learn the OS from scratch again and time is a very expensive commodity to invest in such an unpractical endeavor.

There about 5000 apps for linux, and they all come free of charge. On top of that, there are many commercial packages. |

Linux is pretty good. I was using it for a home server once but for some reason red hat is not compatible with all computers
. That made me very mad so I got stuck using some messed up version called Mandrake and none of Linux software worked with it.

im still playing around with linux, but cant get anything i want to do on there. I tried debain, couldnt get KDE working, i tried Mandrakes. Got things working, but i couldn't figure out how to give access rights to my acount so i can modify anything in any folder
