Linux has come a long way...

Not so much that it can run XP and OS X... But the animations, workspaces, etc... Pretty impressive.

I've gotta learn me some linux now. Tried it before with Kbuntu (KDE version of ubuntu) and liked that I could launch some MS programs with it.

Cool stuff. I've always liked Linux even as far back to the early days of Slackware. I remember blowing away a Sun nerd by showing him my 486 running X native. However for the stupid daily BS that I now do at home, OS X is my favorite OS.

i had ubuntu running, but switched back to windoze once they came out with the v7.04...no particular reason except that I have not had time to play around and get it working like I had with v6.10...one of these days i'll find the time.

i like it a lot better than windoze, except you gotta have the time and patience to get everything working just right.
