Do you dual boot?
orcpeon:
I used to dual boot between Windows XP and Suse Linux. Then I got frustrated with the bugginess of Suse and deleted it, and used just XP for a while (which didn't bother me since all I wanted to do was play Morrowind) Still, I hated XP more and more as time went on, especially when I tried to install Visual C++ and it fucked up my computer where it gave fatal errors every time I tried to shut it down. I had to use "system restore" but, guess what, it deleted half of my photoshop artwork, so I had to go back. I also was getting more and more pissed with Microsoft, and when I read about Palladium I knew I had to eventually get away from M$ entirely. I installed Debian, which was outdated and terrible from a usability standpoint, but it taught me a lot about how Linux works. Then the Red Hat 8 beta came out and I decided to try it out. I liked it so much that I backed up all the files on my windows partition and deleted XP entirely. I've been using nothing but Linux for about 2 months now, and it feels good to finally be rid of Microsoft and their shitty policies and software.

I was triple booting between FreeBSD/Debian 3.0/SuSE 8.0 for a long while until I took up a job developing Web Applications. I purged my FreeBSD/Debian drive (which really was a huge bummer) and installed $hitblows 2K. It really sucks too, because all I need the damn thing for is $hitternet Explorer because I have to test things on all browsers, and M$, being the fucking anal-leetches that they are, make this rather difficult due to their attempts at redefining W3C standards to fuel their monopoly.
