Roshan, personally, I have migrated from the Windows platform. Well, I hadn't used Windows XP prior to using Linux. I used Linux on and off ( as a hobby ) while using Windows to do all "serious" stuff. But my main requirements were to program in C/C++. I used to use DevC++. I still remember the day I switched from Windows to RHLinux. Never looked back :P. At first I did have some problem adjusting but now alls well. And no I dont crave to use XP because it simply keeps crashing on me :/ But I am an exception. People who are total newbies can't think for themselves and easily get confused. So they cant really use KDE/GNOME which have gotchas. This is where Windows UI scores. -- Dinesh A. Joshi -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
