My brother is a computer consultant and he is always extolling the virtues of Linux.

This is why I keep Linux around. I got tired of all the "working FOR my machine."

You're right, I do work a lot for my machine.

Maybe it's time for a switch.

The latest version of PCLinuxOS is 2009.1. It’s my favorite because it’s the most similar to Windows. Ubuntu is good, but it takes more linux knowledge in my opinion. I like Mandriva, Suse, and Mepis, too. Puppy is good for older machines.

Get a LiveCD version and you can run it without installing it. You get to try before you “buy”.
