    I only use XP through a virtual machine for video editing software.

    Re: How many of you completely switched to Linux?

    I've been using Linux for almost a year. One day, I got curious and went to linux.com. I picked Ubuntu. I found a blank CD. I put Ubuntu on the CD. I installed Ubuntu. At first, I dual-booted, but then I just erased Windows completely as I already had everything I wanted (music, pictures, etc.) transferred from Windows when I installed Ubuntu. For a while, I got frustrated with Ubuntu, and branched out to Mandriva. I hated it. A lot. I tried OpenSUSE, and that didn't detect my hardware correctly - as in, white lines all over the screen, resolution wayyy too big for my monitor, etc. Now I'm with Kubuntu 8.10, no VM with Windows (although I've been thinking about making one again), and no dual boot. The only time I use Windows is when I'm using our upstairs computer or when I'm at school.

    Re: How many of you completely switched to Linux?

    I am running Ubuntu Intrepid on my desktop, and sons desktop, Hardy LTS Server for my file, poxy, web, content filtering server. I have a new Intrepid box I am working on getting Myth going properly on GARR. And my 7 year old daughter is using Windows because I want her to be ahead of the curve at school, but she navigates my Ubuntu machine pretty well. I do have a Windows 7 virtual machine since its free for now and I need something to do my autocad homework on.. As far as buying Windows Licenses I haven't for a few years now.

    Just celebrated my Ubuntu anniversary! My only remaining connection to Windows is that I have MSOffice 2000 installed under Wine just in case some Office file from work doesn't play nice with OpenOffice.

    I'm really lovin the freedom and speed.

    Dumped Winders on 2/15/09 after being borked by the MS beast for the last time....

    I've been screwing around with Linux since the RH 6.5 days (even purchased the boxed set) but never took the dive. When RH went to subservience to corporate types (not blaming them, they have to eat too) I dropped them and played with various distros including Mandrake, Suse (til they sold),Debian, and Fedora. I discovered Ubuntu about a year ago, found it *VERY* friendly and easy to install. Played around with it here and there, but now I'm absolutely sold.

    Yep. No more viruses, $$$ for BSOD's, or updating the updates to the updated updates....

    I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of my testicles....
