Sounds like me! I use Ubuntu 99% of the time (at home). I occasionally
go into VMware XP to run things that I can't on Linux (Visio & Autocad).
1% of the time I actually boot into XP in order to use my remote control
on my tv card (for when I'm not sitting right in front of my computer).
But all the rest of the time UBUNTU, and I agree, when I HAVE to use
windows (like at work), I miss it and can't wait to get home to boot!
I too started using Linux about 2 years ago (Jan. 2004). Started with
Red Hat, then moved to Fedora, then to Ubuntu last summer. Also used
Xandros and Novell Desktop for a while (got free CD's from LinuxWorld
conference), but did not like them as much. Ubuntu is really sweet. :-)
Peace.
