linux is the best
i am a linux user since 2003. i hav used red hat, fedora, suse, open suse, debian, dsl, dream linux, sabayon, ubuntu studio, knopixx. currently my fav is debian lenny and sabayon. it has all the package that require to get rid of windows. linux need some guidence frm a experience user to start things up. but the major drawbacks of linux is we can only creat iso image up to 7 layers of folder heirachy.
eg:- folder 1>2>3>4>5>6>7.cant go down more..
linux didnt has good user friendly. but the impact frm viruses and other stuff dont run on linux platform and also didnt get impact frm booter's for yahoo messenger. i am a heavy internet user and i am using debian since this jan and still didnt even cause anything to format/ reinstall the os ever since that (how many time you hav install the windows this year???). but some usb devices and printers didnt wrk in some distributions. it depend on the os and device model. if any one need assistant on linux...i am here.............pm me and i will giv u hand.....linux user's ,u ar nt alone...
