hey i am currently running windows xp and i am wondering if linux is any better? i am hearing a few things about it but i dont know if it is for me or not. so i thought i would ask those that use it? is it easily navigated? will all the games i have now ie unreal tournament 2003 work on it? i guess i am just looking for some good information that describes it and what it can do and if i will be happy with it. i like xp but i looking to try some new stuff. so if you guys can help me out and maybe pass along some info that would be great

thanks

if you have time to learn it, then it'll be better.

linux is totally free and way more customizable, as its open source, the only downside is that some retail programs wont work under linux, i would vote for linux though

The short answer is "yes -- Linux is better -- but it may not be better for you".

Hi,

Im dual booting win xp and SuSe Linux, plus i run Redhat on a laptop. I find Linux more fun to use and if you buy a Linux distro boxset, it comes complete with just about any program you can ever need. I havent tried downloading it off the net yet, as my connection is too slow.

you could try Dual-Booting and get the best of both worlds.

Hi lynch, thanks for the linux games link.

Regards

Khayman.
