I think half the country must be gay to have voted for Obama and bidin.
palin doesnt look bad and more important she makes sense when she talks
other than obama just saying what everyone wants to hear.

Yup. I also am a staunch supporter of the Linux community.
Enthralled with my Kubuntu desktop machine.
Use FireFox exclusively - IE has given problems of all sorts and has failed the versatility test for me.
Lots of great add-ons to FireFox. Comes in Windows and Linux versions.
Linux is probably one of the greatest things to come along which has kept most computer literates computer literate, and provided an environment for producing more intelligent programmers.
But I must be biased no doubt.

I totally agree with this list. Linux matches everything there. I've been "Windowsless" for about 6 months now. Couldn't be happier.

Meh, if they are making money, leave the Linux community for people who know better. All that needs to happen now is somebody needs to release a new Linux OS with a C:\ directory so it can play windows game. Or, at least an emulator that is better then wine.

My first post on this site and as it's on my Linux machine it better be about Linux... Running Mint 6. Love it, got it up and running in under 20 mins from newbie.. Not bad... I wish it handled devices a little better/easier and there is a learning curve if you want to do more. But it runs great on an old machine and for what I do is faster and more stable then my XP machine.
What do I do with all my spare time now I'm not running housekeeping on the WINDOZ machine lol. I have found however that if you do need a paid nerd to solve a problem, you wont find one that knows Linux.
