“And, of course, there is always this possibility: http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora";

As a software developer, and Linux fan, I can honestly say that Fedora’s a better deal if your time is worth $0/hr, and you don’t need most commercial software.

Happy New Year! ;-)

(Actually, I use Ultimate Edition (Ubuntu) at home ...with a Vyatta router...rather than the Fedora distribution...but the blasted Ubuntu stuff is too PC to advertise here)

And Wine has worked pretty well for any Windows applications I have needed at home.

But I would NEVER advocate converting client boxes at work to Linux -- it would be FAR too much of a headache.
