Linux take less to keep running... yeah right. ninety percent of computer users probably couldnt even install it and get the printer working. sure if u are a nerd its probably better... but not for anyone else.

I say "keep running" and you say "get running"

I'm at a loss here.

RK--take a look at Ubuntu with a KDE. It might cause you to revise your statement.

I use Novell's SUSE Linux. I am part of the ninety percent who are not computer nerds. I can easily and painlessly install printers, wireless LAN cards, video cards and any other peripheral.

Linux has come a long way in the past few years.
