Ubuntu, anyone?
I just downloaded and tested the latest edition of Ubuntu Linux (v7.04), named 'Feisty Fawn'. Perhaps try it yourselves sometimes. Never liked Linux much before: always seemed to require a lot of black magic. Not this release: this one is a Windows killer.... Installs in less than 20 minutes, and runs incredibly fast and smooth, and all common applications included. And its FREE.
I tell you, at least for desktops, the days for Windows are counted, Ubuntu is AWESOME. Happy computing Cheers

I'm running the earlier version of ubuntu.
Besides getting used to installing stuff; it runs a hell of a lot smoother than windows could dream of.

I've installed Red Hat, Suse, Fedora, Debian, and CentOS. I've heard good things about Ubuntu. I just can't get over the name - sounds like an African tribal warrior or something.

I also think it's a stupid name for an OS. Time will tell as to it's worth I guess. Suffice to say I'm not losing any sleep over yet another prophesied end of Windows.

Ubuntu is nice, I ran an older version. I never got used to installing/ungrading modules under the debian system, I prefer rpms. My current install of Mandriva 2007 was nearly as easy to install, and there is LOTS out there for it.
