Has Ubuntu Replaced Windows on Your Box?

[matt nicholson]

I went ful, non-stop linux on my desktop about 3 years ago, switching to 
ubuntu from debian about a year ago. since then it has made its way on 
to my laptop as its sole OS, and on to teh computer of my roomate and my 
girlfriend, neither of which are "computer" people. now both of them use 
it far more than windows, which my roomate uses only for AutoCAD, and my 
girlfriend hasn't used yet.

rock on ubuntu.
