The only reason I keep Windows around is to play some games. I love Linux because it's so powerful and easy to use. It doesn't spy on you like Windows and it rarely gets viruses. I love it. I use RedHat 8.0.

I use both Windows 2k and Linux. I love both of them, Although I use Windows far more than linux, Because at the moments its what I am used to. Windows 2k is a fantasic OS, and I have rarely seen it crash. I agree about 85% with UniformMango, People seem to put MS down for the sake of it, I mean IMO, I don't think the PC industry would be where it is today without windows. Windows is also great for games. MS made a big mistake in using the windows 9x kernal for so long, it was unstable, sucked memory like it was going out of fashion and IMO it put many, many people off MS, Including me for a long time. I am rather annoyed to hear about the Friz chip that MS is supporting. Also I don't really like Windows XP, because of its Activation problem. I think that if MS does not watch it self it risks being destoryed by its own greed.
Linux is also a fantasic OS, The fact that it is open source is brilliant, I love the fact that you can make it into what ever you want to be, its very easy to install, and it make me feel as if I am in complete control over my PC, Whereas with windows, It sometimes feels like I am not. Its great for programming on, because of its built in tools. If a device installed on your pc does not work, You can make your own drivers. Linux is fantasic in a server role, and I managed to convert my IT admin, In to allowing me to show him the power of linux as a server. Its not uncommon to see uptimes of months, even years on a linux server. Its also very Secure. Linux is also free which is a very good thing. To buy the professional version of Windows you will spend about £180, Which you have to agree is quite a lot of money, Linux you can get on the cover of mags, from books at your library or if you have a fast engoth connection, you can download it.
So both OS's have there good points and bad points. I Think the easyiest thing to do is install both, because then you have the best of both worlds.

Why use Linux? It's free, homegrown, _SECURE_, supported by REAL computer users (as in developers that work hard to make good code, not make lots of money). Every thing I have ever needed has been free, just a download away.
Palladium is a threat to your privacy and WILL HAPPEN. Why even take the chance, just use Linux and forget about it. If my mom can learn anyone can...
