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.

Haven't got it put together yet. This has a Western Digital hd in it so it's a little difficult to set up for dual boot. Chasing parts, you know how that goes.(usually badly)

They say the new versions of Linux install/run without too many problems, let ya know in a couple weeks.
