First, a question: why have one of these?

Second, I find both have their purposes and uses. And find the quality of the OS depends a lot on the quality of the person using it. I've been very happy with Slackware because of stability and its ability to force me to understand more and to question more. I've also been happy with XP for it's ease of use and flexibility with new products.

Can I say all three? (I also use Mac on the side for graphics and soon --- music now that I've ordered an iPod Mini )
