I went all Linux for a while and found it did not work for me. I do LAMP development and my favorite editor does not run under Linux and running IE for testing under wine was not optimum either. So I have a Linux dev server and a Win XP desktop. For me this is the best setup. I had tried going M$ free in 2000 and was Linux only for 8 months. Please don't flame me but I find Windows does somethings better. Yikes!!!!! And if you ever plan to write Windows software you must have Windows....

For various reasons, mainly software I have been using Linux as my sole desktop since before 2000 at home, in my own company, and currently where I work. All systems have problems. you get to pick your problems when you pick your platform. I would rather deal with Linux problems than windows problems. just my preference. But yes, Linux does suck. It just sucks less than windows IMHO. - -- JT Morée PC Xperience, Inc. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHb8+h1JwGi/ukQqERAuJ+AKCO9+hBqAGg3E80zU5EYRkDPYU8agCgkYYb ZbEaaHm+YbkydWlMD5gJvTg= =EF7C -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
