Ubuntu Linux.

I have a co-worker who is a huge Linux fan; he convinced me to switch on my old desktop. Ive been doing alot of learning recently, and installed it along side my XP Pro on this desktop. I am very impressed by the speed, and stability of the machine on this older box. Havent had a single program crash yet, fast. The install process is almost fool proof even when dual booting.

Definatley a large learning curve though. Took a bit of work to get ATI drivers.

Firefox 2 doesnt crash every two seconds in Linux which is nice.

I don't know what the fuck your doing but firefox has never crashed on me eh.

I'm thought about setting up linux on my families main computer. But My mom freaked out at trying to use Open office and firefox instead of Office 2k and AOL's browser (as a kind of test run to see if she could adapt) so it's back to way underpowering an XP install.

Also, firefox has never been unstable for me, wtf did you do to yours?

Kubuntu is nice, the KDE is shitloads better then Gnome if you ask me.

Yea I've played around with Ubuntu a bunch - it's certainly a nice setup. :D

I heart XFce on top of Debian (Ubuntu too if you want to split hairs). Glad you decided to give linux a try.
