can't say you're never honest.
I'm just tired of MS to be honest. XP is fucking solid and has got to be one of the best most stable user friendly Operating Systems out. And they want us to move on to Vista... well fuck that. Having kids that means I'd have upgrade their systems to move to Vista. Not gonna happen...
Fortunately, for the technically inclined Linux seems to have made quite a few strides since I last used it towards a more user friendly OS. So I'm giving it another shot...
If I can pull this off, I wont have to worry about buying security products to keep adware and other shit off my systems...
But so far, I can tell you need some basics to get around and fix what doesn't work out of the box.
