BUMP!
Another three persons that I know personally over last weekend switched to Firefox.
Tho only reason I haven't switched is the continuing attempt to assure myself that my system is virus and worm-free first.

If you are interested in trying Linux, download the
Knoppix ISO image and burn it to CD.
Knoppix boots from CD and does not require installation on your hard drive and autoconfigures all your hardware.
It's a good thing to have around if your Windows box quits working. Boot Knoppix and you can get on the Internet or rescue important files from your hard drive.

I currently run FC1 on my laptop. I would have upgraded, but I'm in the middle of a fairly large (for 1 person) software project and I now consider it a "production" machine. Once this is finished (in the next month, hopefully), I'm gonna go ahead and upgrade to a 2.6 distro. I may also just wait until FC4 comes out in May.

I posted this mainly for those lurkers who insist on calling Linux a "company," and that someone will sue "Linux" someday, etc.
This is a pretty good article explaining how the whole process and community works.

Just got SUSE 9.2 Pro. I'm going to replace my Mandrake LINUX desktop with it and see how it goes before replacing Mandrake 10.x on my server.

I wasn't directing the Knoppix plug at you. I just like to encourage people who don't know anything about Linux to try it because it is an easy way to try it and Knoppix is cool.

Nah--B2K know what Linux is about. He just doesn't like it. There are others, though, that have no concept of community programming. They feel a product must have a single company behind it--like Windows and MS.

I have Knoppix iso's and run it in a VPC works great.
or and I don't do windows or MAC
To: E. Pluribus Unum
I think you can do the same thing with the latest Suse releases.
Never tried it myself, becasue it's so easy to install.

Thanks for the info ShadowAce. Great article. Firefox is working out very well for our computers.
I'm experimenting with the Mepis distribution of Linux and am really impressed with the stability and security it provides.
