Why not just periodically boot into linux on your spare time and mess around with it instead of giving up all together? I think being persistant is the key to switching from MS to Linux. Join your local LUG, I bet they could help tremendously. All in all, don't just give up. -- David M. -- I dual boot xp and linux. My main os is still xp but I am learning linux in a gradual mode and conceptualize it more like a good puzzle to keep my mind from ossifying. I am slowly getting the hang of it without the pressure of having to do it all right now for a report due tomorrow. By the time everyone is forced into that bloated drm crippled vista I dont expect to need ms anymore. I did not learn dos or win in a few days either. Try a gradual unforced approach. Right now I do all my internet browsing and email on linux as well as word processing. (I was lucky my antique hp lasserjet 4 ran out of the box and my next printer will be one supported by linux also) Right now my big trouble area is getting my hdtv capture card to work and linux is still short on the video programs I need so I will continue to use xp for that unless I set up a virtual machine. I am a psychologist and none of this comes easy to me but I am fortunate that my profession has shown me the value of patience and gradual movement. </blockquote><div> Uriah </div> </div>
