I have completely replaced windows recently. I replaced it on a
Athlon64 +3000, 250GB SATA HDD, GeForce 6600 TF PCIe, 1GB PC3200 RAM. 



With my windows machine I've done lots of sound production, lots of web
development(php)/designing, and played lots of games :cool:. 



So, why did I change? I changed because of costs, plummeting myself
rapidly in the IT world for a career, and realizing I'll be building a
separate machine someday for windows. Note that I'll only be building a
separate windows machine to help me in IT and because I may need
something I can't do in Linux. 



Granted I haven't been with linux for very long but I'm loving it so
far. I'm all setup and done everything I did on Windows except game.
Somehow, I got sick of gaming. Nothing seems to be fun anymore but one
text based game called gemstone hehe.



Why did I choose Ubuntu? Lots of reasons that seem to add up more so
than others. It has forums and great community support, completely
free, based on another highly popular o/s (didn't choose debian because
things seemed outdated and dead around there), updated frequently (I
know that's not always beneficial), and humanity to others! When it
said linux for human beings it reminded me of sophisticated software
designed so well seemingly anyone can use it yet it's so powerful... or
at least an article talking about accomplishing that.
