I am running various flavours of Linux on all the machines, which version depends upon which function each machine is geared toward. Most of the customers I work with are running XP or Vista, though.

Agree about the Firefox memory drain. Fortunately I use Opera for simple browsing and email-access so no worries there.

I run Debian in addition to W7, and agree it’s a lot more economical with memory. However, the browsers can be hogs even on Linux.

Could you rank your flavors in order of most liked to least liked?
