Maybe I'll have to give Ubuntu a try. I have been less than impressed with the last couple times I tried setting up a home system with Fedora core.

I've had lots of luck setting up Linux boxes as file servers and cross-compilers at work, it always seems like Linux takes too much effort to use as a home PC. I have two computers at home. One runs Linux and the other runs Windows. It seems like I spend more time fighting with the Linux one than using it. Windows, is far, far from perfect, but I usually have far less trouble using it for what I do at home.

Trying to do the things I do at work on Linux using a Windows box would probably be equally painful. Sometimes different tasks require different tools.
