“I do *nix support for a living, and I won’t load linux (again) at home. toooo much hassle. not intuitive, too many versions to get consistent support, drivers are hard to find, lack of software, family members are completely lost, and when it does work, I feel it lacks a lot of the fit, finish and features of Windows.”

Just curious.... what distro’s were you loading that you had such problems with?

I couldn’t be happier with both MEPIS and SUSE 10.2....they both installed very quickly...and totally without drama.

“I’ve been in the Unix business since 1980. Adjusting to the variants in the market in just part of being a competent player. “

my post does not then, apply to you. I am talking about the other 95% of people who are looking for a home solution.
anyone looking to use Vista for business obviously is getting bad advice :-)

and to taxed2death - redhat and SUSE. albeit not recently.

Well, we had to look hard for it...., but we can be in complete harmony on this issue, if nothing else! Mepis so very ROCKS!
