I've dabbled in Linux for a few years now but I'm making a real push now. I had been using Ubuntu but, as I understand, it has some security issues. I use Debian, Mint (which is Ubuntu based but I think without the leaky parts) and Fedora.
Windows 7 is the last MS stop for me.
I'm about to that point as well .. just wish there weren't 148,000 flavors for the relatively uninitiated to have to wade through.
If egos (or whatever) could be set aside and some standardization made a priority, one or a few flavors of Linux could probably kick MS's corporate ass.
an aging boy can dream ..
Windows 2000 was my lat one. When I bought a new laptop in 2003, I put Fedora Core 1 on it as it had just been released. I've been on Fedora ever since--am now on my second laptop, and have F20 on it, running XFCE.
Pretty sweet.
