After using the Windows 7 RC... I am now using Linux. Phone/Laptop/PS3/Server, everything.

I posted in this thread a month or two ago, stating that I was ready to go full time with Ubuntu (was dual booting with XP for the past year). Well, after fiddling around with Kubuntu 9.04 for a couple of weeks I decided that KDE wasn't for me. As I prepared myself for the switch back to Gnome I found out that Linux Mint 7 was released, decided to try it out, and my mind was made up.

Feels good to have nothing but Linux on the computer

I am a linux only user. I started out with Fedora Core 9 in 2007. Then Fedora 10 for a while before I got mad at it because of having to fight the sound card. Then I tried Ubuntu 8.10 Intepid Ibex. I loved it but the wifi card was a deal breaker. I went back to Fedora a while untill I tried a live CD of jaunty. It worked great for me. The only thing I still use windows for , on my mother's computer, is games that dont run well under wine like Sims 2. Alot of games do work under wine but its if-y and you need to check out the wine application website. If you are a major world of warcraft person wine covers it. I'd look into things like that before you do. I personly regreat getting rid of windows completely because of some high profile games so I would keep it but use it under a virtual machine with VM workstation (just use it long enough to make the vm) and later get vm player. Keep your games going but be free. I hope I helped.

I am only using Ubuntu 8.04 now. I admit it was not actually a choice though. My main hard drive with Xp on it fried. I don't have the restore disk for this old Compaq Presario 5000 so no mo windows.

I am glad I had ordered that Ubuntu cd. I can't afford to buy windows and would have been computer-less. Thanks Ubuntu

Since I got sopcast-player working, I don't have any use for windows anymore.

I had to completely switch to Ubuntu, since Vista had been completely destroyed by viruses. In this respect, the situation has definitely helped me appreciate what Ubuntu is doing for the computing community and how functional alot of the software is (with a little perseverance.

I went cold turkey. But I would recommend dual booting in the begining
