That's not true.  Linux still has many driver issues.

I would be using Linux, but it was to much of an effort.  I have everything worked out perfectly in XP, why should I change everything?

i like to use ubuntu mostly

i ran it on my old 733 mhz inpiron 4100 pentium 3 before i got my macbook

it ran amazingly! the only problem i had was getting my netgear wireless card to work, but that wan't that bad

slax isn't that bad to run when you're learning, it's free (actually most are open source) and doesn't need to install to a partition on your hard disk

Nothing can be faster the XP as there isn't any delay when I do anything.  You can get a Mac theme for Windows if that's your thing too.

Agree if you have a P3 or a AMD Athlon 3200xp  chip set and about 40gigs you can run most Linux OS easy with 512mb of ram & it would be faster then a xp set up for sure ;)

ubuntu 8 is out?

wow i'm surprised i didn't know

also yes it is & it is better then ever also the new Debian 4 0 r3 i386 is wicked http://linuxtracker.org/index.php?page=torrents&active=1&order=seeds&by=DESC
