How good are you with Linux? Linux is not for newbies. If you are comfortable with making changes to Windows settings, Linux is a good choice. If you freeze in fear everytime something goes wrong, Linux is not a good choice.

How good are you with Linux? Linux is not for newbies.

Last month I downloaded, burned to 3 CDs and installed Red Hat on a hard drive for a few days. Had to wipe Linux off after one week because I needed to use hard drive for other things. I used it on the internet a bit with no problems. 

For best security on financial transactions I would have to read up on Linux security settings? I would use the latest Netscape, Firebird and or Opera which must be secure these days
