It's time people realize the maturity of the modern linux desktop. Having the debian package manager available with a menu of every application you can imagine just a click away sure beats the Microsoft world of license fees, copy protection, cd's, and interminable security keys.</p> Glad to hear you are moving to Ubuntu.

That hurt. Please note that The VAR Guy has long been a Dell/Windows user but switched to Mac OS X last year. His next system will be a Dell/Ubuntu system for home. And, if Vista service pack 1 is good, he may finally purchase Vista. But for now, there's no need to use a big, resource hungry operating system from Microsoft that doesn't support many old applications and doesn't have many new applications.</p> Ouch. That hurt.
