I did Ubuntu and decided it made my computer more than just a commodity I use. If I could just load up the new Linux and continue using all my existing windows compatible programs as if nothing changed, I’d consider it.

I use the Avast web browser for security reasons and because it allows me to, with a click of a button, create high resolution copies of youtube videos or mp3 copies of just the sound. I also play command and conquer generals zero hour.

If that stuff stopped working, I’d be pissed.

I have used Avast for years and it’s been great.

Yeah, you’d need to dual boot or run virtual machine or run wine- I chose dual boot- it’s a little complicated, but not real bad- once set up- it’s good to go- I do sim racing on windows- and do it only at night- durign day I do the internet so it’s linux all day-

One thought- You could run a steam application on linux which has tons of windows games (that were converted to work on linux) that will supposedly run under linux- I Haven’t done this so can’t reply on how well it works- several people on Fr said it does work well- and there are many popular windows games that can be played-

There are also several youtube vid rippers available for firefox that can download vids-

I have played C&C Generals and Zero Hour for years on Linux, with no problems..

OH.. there is another game that is real similar (and 100% free) that is easy to set up on Linux (also Win and Mac versions too, I believe);

Warzone 2100
