You sound like a good candidate for Ubuntu :0 Seriously, you aren't doing anything that requires a Windows OS. The only reason I'm keeping Win2k on my main PC is that I do high-def video capture and editing which, while possible on Linux, isn't yet supported for my current hardware. If you like to tinker, Linux is the OS for you. You have complete control of EVERYTHING. -- Pale Blue Ego ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pale Blue Ego's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=110 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35158 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
