(snip)So those who choose Windows are mindless? What utter nonsense. I have both Windows XP and Linux on my PC. I am a fairly technical person and I find myself using Linux only to learn Linux, and using Windows to get things done.(snip)

I like you.I have two PCs networked together and use Dos6.2 Win98, and XP.I started to install Linux but the fact that it didn't have a simple install program bugged me and I still can't think of a legitimate reason to have it.

Try the SuSE Linux distribution. The version I have is two years old now, but the installation was unbelievably simple. I put together my computer from randomly purchased hardware, and I was surprised that Linux supported and detected all of the hardware, detected my network, and set itself up for the internet.

Your going to want to have two physical hard drives, one for Linux and one for Windows.

I installed Linux to learn a valuable skill. I expected it to be my primary operating system, but that hasn't happened yet.
