I've pretty much fully switched to Ubuntu since my XP boot decided to get a fucking virus off the internet and hijack IE and disable Opera and Firefox.
Fuck Windows anyway, I was looking for an excuse to move completely. Less gaming more coding.
Em: TBH I wouldn't listen to a word of that. Ubuntu gets updated every 6 months and a new revision comes out every year. Compare that with Windows's 4 year revision cycle.
Only driver problems I ever had was with my tablet PC. It has a screen you can draw on, so I had to google how to get that working. Simple enough.
I'm getting annoyed though - I'm stuck in Kubuntu 6.04. When 8.10 comes out I'll format and switch to it. This comp is about 2 years old and apt-get is broken due to a failed upgrade attempt. You can imagine how difficult that makes life in linux land.
