My notebook is pure Linux with Ubuntu being the distro used most.  (I
upgraded the hard drive and now have several other distros on the queue
for evaluation plus a partition set aside for making live CDs.)

One of my teaching stations I wiped the Chinese version of Windows XP
from the hard drive and replaced it with Ubuntu because I was tired of
wrestling with a user interface I couldn't understand.  (I was the only
person using the classroom, so I don't feel too guilty about having made
the support staff re-Ghost the drive after my class ended last week.)

My wife's machine is 3/4 Windows, 1/4 Ubuntu.  She uses the latter
mainly to play Supertux (and now that she's found there's a Windows port
of Supertux even that may not be a strong draw any longer).  She's not
particularly happy about some of the Ubuntu issues (multimedia and
Chinese language support being the two big strokes against it in her
eyes).
