Pete,
Funny you should mention linux. I just decided earlier this week I that I want to learn linux to expand my knowledge. I downloaded redhat 7.1 and installed. My question to you is this..

redhat was cookie cutter, I had no problem loading and was on the web in a hour. there are so many programs available they too seem cookie cutter (i've loaded nothing yet). what can I do with linux? how can I expand my knowledge of computers, networking, ect in ways i can't with win2k?

The only reason I'm trying to switch to linux is to learn.

Pete: I run Linux. So does my brother.

Ahh well, then you're cheating! ;P

Yes, there is little doubt that Linux is much, much better than Windows at handling multiple tasks.

And I do use Linux very often, but need Windows installed on my home machine for other reasons (I am considering setting up a dual-boot, though).
