What is so evil about converting from Window$ to Linux?  Did it years
ago.  Last Win version used in our house was 3.11.  I have a HD with
win 98 on it but it hasn't seen power for over a year.

Well, that was rather some form of insider joke ;)

Still running on P90 at home which is slow but in some cases it is
faster than my Windows 98 machine at work.  Getting a new computer
this fall, finally.  I have a new computer at work that came with XP
pro and I have been using RH 8.0 since day one in a dual boot mode.
SetiQueue runs 5 to 6 WU's a day at work using 3.08.

Lack of time was basically what kept me from switching to Linux earlier.
While I can assemble, setup and fully optimize a Windows box in a matter of hours, the
same still takes me about a week for a Linux Box (internet searches, troubleshooting,
internet searches again to find a 'correct' HowTo among the many incomplete/incorrect or
simply unusable ones, fighting insane Text editors like 'vi' etc etc... ;) )

Haven't managed to make them run exactly with the same features yet, but until the end of
the year, the existing Installations should be finetuned to what I need.

But anyway, I'm getting there...
It just eats tons of time and manually setting everything up, unlike Windows.

The only thing I'm not happy at all about is the User friendlyness (quick reconfiguring,
installing/modifying Software), which I think has barely approached Windows 3.1 levels now
:(
(e.g. overall GUI gives only the most basic features, but most of the powerful
applications/services completely lack their own simple GUI's [which is a big mistake
IMHO], and require extensive manual fiddling on Terminal level :p )

Anyway, for setting them up once, and basically not touching them afterwards, they're
still very good.
