I knew Linux/Unix OS' were far superior since my college days, but trying to get one to interface with all the Windows apps like some on line games, and basic computer software programs is a challenge to find the version of Linux that will do it. I've been thinking of trying it again lately, but with Vista coming out soon, I'd want to see how much better it is vs XP. Decisions, Decisions.....
I have played with VMware too Con. Creates a Virtual Machine that you then load Windows back onto. WHen you need window, You fire it up from within Linux.
