Seconded! I find stability wise Linux out strips any Windows I have used so far (haven't tried XP yet - and to be honest not planning to). As far as usability goes Linux is way ahead. I find Windows too restricting for my use. Apart from a few applications I just have to use I find its interface slows me down. I'll qualify that by saying that I am definately a techy user. Still this is getting OT for this list - perhaps move onto user?! -- --- Paul Tansom: Talking to penguins can be inTUXicating, whereas talking to windows is only 1 step away from talking to the wall! --- Smoothwall firewall/router project: http://www.smoothwall.org/ Smoothwall project community contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
