   Bye bye Microsoft - Hello Linux :)
  Ok, I''ve decided that there are enough good programs for linux and that I''m old enough to consider them more important than games.I''m switching completely to Linux today. I''ll format all my partitions with Reiser.I''ll have: Slackware 9KDE 3.1Mozilla FirebirdBlender 2.8Wine (release 030709) Just in case And a lot of other cool apps I''ve found werfing the intarweb.I''ll tell you in a couple of months (weeks?) if it is possible to live "outside" the matrix So long, farewell, avidersen goooood byeeeeeee

Now what are your reasons for doing so?  I mean you do have a reason right?  Or are you just doing the Linux bandwagon "Micro$0ft is the suxx0r"?  Hope you didn''t have too much time and money vested in Microsoft products otherwise you will be losing out big time. ;  Welcome to the world of -''s.Nah, I don''t have a Linux.

A big one is your modem going to work once windows is history? If so you will be rather helpless if you need help. Linux is fine when is setup right but if something is wrong your gonna need some help.  ;  Have fun. Windows is not necessary. And i use linux  70% and Windows for 30% of the time.

Depends on what products you mean.  I use Open Office in linux and it provides me with the ability to create/read Word/XLS/PPT documents.  For every windows application there is almost always an app under linux that can do the same.I routinely switch between Linux and Windows while developing on my game and have not hit a problem with having a product on windows that I don''t under linux.  -------Andrew PlaneShift - A MMORPG in development.
