how many people have actually replaced Windows with Ubuntu Linux

[Daniel Carrera]

In the strictest sense I never "replaced" Windows because I never had 
it. The first computer I owned was a 486 and the first OS I put on it 
was Slackware Linux. I replaced Slackware with Red Hat, Red Hat with 
Mandrake (before Mandriva), Mandrake with Knoppix, Knoppix with Katonix, 
and Katonix with Ubuntu. Over this period I looked at SUSE and 
SimplyMEPIS but they never replaced what I was using at the time.

There /was/ a time when I ran Windows, and DOS before that, but that was 
the time when I lived at home and used my parents' computer. So, in that 
sense, I did use DOS on a 286, Windows 3.1 on a 386 and Windows 9x on a 
486. When my parents got a Pentium they gave me the 486 to use at school 
and my first action was to put Slackware on it :)

Cheers,
Daniel.
