I started with RH and still use RHEL on servers. A couple years ago, I switched to Ubuntu. I’ve since moved to Mint, which is the most polished and most ‘it just works’ of all the Linux distros I’ve used.

If Google wants to do an OS, good on them, but I wouldn’t want the invasion into my privacy that would surely come along with it.

Unless, it made Compiz work with 3 monitors and Xinerama. Then, I’d be forced to install it immediately.

I couldn't agree more.
I finally escaped the MS monopoly about a year-and-a-half ago.
Although I applaud Google for taking them on, I'm leery of the global adware that Google may embed in their system.

I agree. Did I read recently that Obama was colluding with Google to "gather" information?

I just did a clean install of KUbuntu 9.04 on my other hard drive. Being pretty much a know-nothing about Linux but what I scare up at KUbuntu forums (when I have a problem), why would I like Mint better? (I’m always interested in that which is not Microsoft or Macintosh.)
