[c-b 1]

I am in the process of switching from Windows XP to Linux. I installed in the first of 3 computers yesterday.

You made a good choice. I switched mine over after the news that XP was to expire and haven't had a single regret.

A couple of caveats though...

My flatbed scanner only has windows compatability and I didn't want to purchase a new one to replace it so I set it up on an old XP computer (not connected to the 'net) and scan to a thumb drive to use with my linux office programs.

I also ran into an issue with a video card not supported by linux so I just replaced it (cheap) with a newer one that is supported. Once you iron out the little things you'll find linux to be a very stable operating system.

Oh,yeah, by the way, any new computer accessory I purchase has to have a linux compatability logo on it or I don't buy.

Good on ya! It might also be helpful to look at their recommended User Forums for advice on various things or if something is not quite working well under the new OS. User groups are always glad to help, and oftentimes they can also refer you to a similar, if not identical, problem and resolution previously posted.

Of course, there is still FR as well. Don't forget to donate! :)
