5 Years ago I said this
“Can Linux Really Replace Windows?
Server: Probably
Workstation: Perhaps.
Average home PC: No way! “

Today I’ll say this
Can Linux Really Replace Windows?
Server: Yes
Workstation: Yes
Average home PC: Yes (as long as you dont play popular games)

The whole OSS and Linux movement (if you care to call it that) has come a long way.

My latest Linux excusrion has been with Ubuntu (not a man’s linux install by any means). But it is a great install if you don’t want to spend a lot of time mucking under the covers. It literally just works (like a mac, but less snooty). You have your Open source equivilents of Word, Outlook, etc and can even connect to an exchange server or whatever mail system floats your boat.

Now I could go on and on, but seriously, why write the same things thousands of other people have written.

This is really just to say that it is safe to switch (as long as you don’t want to play fancy DirectX games)
