My experience of linux has been over the past two years and I started from some knowledge of MSdos and basic from the year dot.
If you are prepared to start using linux and you have the time to get over a few weeks of being uncomfortable and suffering the odd problem you will be rewarded with a much better experience of computing and squeezebox in particular. Windows has many great features, but just working out of the box isn't one of them. As an example, I help a few older people with windows problems and some of them haven't a clue how to use a "simple" interface with their broadband modem. They can't cope with the long waits on the telephone waiting and waiting for some far distant customer support from their internet service provider. I also know a person who can't cope with the change from a television connected to an aerial and a set top box.... I would suggest that if you are prepared to learn and get things wrong occasionally you are almost certain to enjoy linux. One word of warning I can give is don't use KDE 4 until you have used KDE 3.5 for a while. This means use Kubuntu 8.04 before trying kubuntu 8.10. -- mudlark SB3>CyrusDACX>PreXvs>ESPAudio P09B Active filter>NAP140+260A>Rhapsody, Avondale and Naim cable, Kubuntu Intrepid Ibis server, linkstation for storage.
