nets apps are where linux really shines, in my opinion. good choice ;-)

it will be _much_ more stable assuming your hardware is all good. check
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/hardware.php3 for the hardware database.
easier to fix? at first you won't think so while you learn a new system,
but this list will help. later you will find it really is easier most of
the time.
have a look at http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,3973,574450,00.asp as
well.
if you really are as stuck as you make it sound, look at it this way. what
have got to lose? you might learn something new...... ;-)
