Very interesting. Frankly, the only thing that keeps me from moving to Linux outright is the hit-and-miss aspect of getting devices to work. Driver disasters have plagued me every time I have tried to make the jump.
Well, that and the fact that games rarely get released in a Linux version.
I know I've mentioned this before, but I run Mepis linux on my Dell laptop (for work), with KDE desktop manager, Firefox, Thunderbird, and VirtualBox running a Win2K installation.
At home I run Win2K on one computer, mainly for games, and another computer for testing other OS's (currently have Mepis 64 bit installed).
