Seriously.

4 of my 5 PCs run Linux. It just isn't worth all the money and BS from MS just to have Vista.

Please recomment a fast linux that can run on older (p2/p3 256m ram) hardware. I'd love to move my webserver over to a linux box. But ever time I've tried linux it was just to damn slow to be useable.

I'm dual booted on two of my three computers and the only thing I can't live without is an old edition of Autocad. So, I will run Win2000 until it drops and then I'm off the reservation. It's not just the cost of Microsoft, it's the uncertainty of not knowing what they will do on the following releases after Vista.

Microsoft is following the Novel path to extinction. Novel thought they couldn't be replaced to and had restrictive licenses, and nearly went completely out of business.
