You can use Pan newsreader with Linux. Convert everyone to Linux. I have been MS free for 5 years and I have a lot of nice programs.
I am planning to be MS free too (maybe not for 100% however), I intend to install Linux (of some kind) very soon. Most of the software I use today can be downloaded for Linux as well, such as OpenOffice.org, GIMP, Audacity and so on. You say you have a lot of nice programs. As far as I have seen, there are not a lot of audio- and video editing programs for Linux, at least not for professional or semi professional users. Audacity doesn't feel professional enough (yet), for example. Do you have something to recommend, for semi professional audio and video editing? I hope that I, some day, can do everything I want without any kind of Windows installed, but until then I will have both Windows (XP) and Linux (Vector Linux?) installed on this laptop.
