There is almost certainly a linux way for doing any windows way of doing
anything, and it is usually better and definitely more stable. I would
recommend Mandrake 8.2 (soon to be release 9.0) for it's ease of use and
configuration. I also, having begun working with it alot, have grown
quite fond of the latest RedHat release of 7.3 for it's amazing
stability, although it is a bear to get it all configured. If you need
some help getting a system installed and running, even a dual boot
system with windows, let me know, peter at cybersource.us 553-8525

    Off hand, this sounds too good to be true.  I have seen discussions
    of Windows emulators like wine and one I thought was called
    lindows.  What's the catch?  
     
    It always seemed to me that Linux was wonderful once you got it to
    work, but that there was always an unresolved file dependency or
    kernel compile thrown in somewhere along the way.
    I've been wanting to switch to Linux for a long time, but haven't
    because I have so many applications in Windows and mainly because  I
    am desperately trying to become an end user!  I actually want to get
    something done other than configuring operating systems (or
    reloading windows from scratch for the 100th time! - which, along
    with applications and data, takes me about 4 very long days).
     
    I almost jumped and signed up right away, but I've done that too
    many times before.  Is this just a gimmick or is it really an end
    user version of linux?  Or, is it just too soon to know?
