XP has made me a penguin advocate. Can't wait to get the other HD in this thing

I am lacking in the lexicon. What is 'penguin' and 'HD'?...pardon my ignorance.

XP certainly has not been LESS troublesome than the earlier MS conglomerations.

How has Linux gone for you?

I have a good Linux box collecting dust in my bedroom. My XP is on my new dual CPU 1.6GigHz motherboard with a RAID C DRIVE (DUAL 80 GIG HD'S), 1 GIGABYTE of HARDWARE RAM and 2 added 80 gig HD's etc.

I hate all the transition learning curve stuff and have a variety of educational and other software geared to XP. It would not be an easy transition.

I suppose I could get a Y connector somehow and hook both boxes up to the wireless broadband net connection and play with it. Just haven't quite motivated myself to do it I guess.

But MS's support and problems related to XP-P are horrendous in my experience. I've virtually given up.

I've used windows since 3.1 and XP is the best yet. I think it's great.

I tried Mandrake Linux a couple of years ago and had a horrible time getting my hardware to work with it.
