I installed PCLinuxOS on an older desktop about one month ago. My first experience with a Linux system, and it’s been fantastic. The *only* time I’ve needed my Windows machine in the past month has been for streaming NetFlix. And, from what I understand, Linux users will soon be able to stream NetFlix as well.
I’ve been using Linux since 2004 or so. The number of sites that run exclusively on Windows is miniscule, and still getting smaller each day. I can even watch ESPN3 on Ubuntu, and have been able to for over a year.
The underlying OS is becoming less important and the browser more so.
Although, I did write Veoh.com a nasty letter, incredulous that they require a Windows-only plugin to watch some of their content. I eventually got it to work in Linux, but there’s no reason for that when tons of sites have no problem with any operating system that you choose to use.
PCLinuxOS? I will check that out too :D
