Totally agree. You can even run many win32 applications under Linux using WINE so
the need to reboot to windows might be only for games really... Linux is a rock-solid
OS, it can run without rebooting for MONTHS (or more). Give Mandrake Linux (www.mandrakelinux.com)
a try, it's more user-friendly and very up-to-date. I've been running Linux for about
5 years now and there's no way I'm going back to Microsoft hell!! ;)
