Wish I had more time

I wish I had more time to play with Linux and learning the ins and outs. It is a great operating system and the cost is right up my alley. (FREE)

I think that the supporting applications worth thousands if not 10's of thousands of extra cost under Windows is mostly free. Only a few programs that are not part of the installation distro are is some cases extra charge. But I would recommend that you learn Linux and how to use Linux before you start purchasing Linux software. You could always do a windows treatment and buy a Linux version and then get support for the extra software. That is up to you.

Enjoy Linux. I currently have Ubuntu installed and everything works except for the websites that require you have Windows or Mac in order to view those sites. I just ignore those sites.

If you are tired of anti virus controlling your life. You have to wait while anti virus takes over your computer. Wait for hours. Under Linux I have not had that problem. I do not have to wait for hours for anti virus to finish. I don't have to spend money for anti virus, I don't have to give Microsoft my money for buggy operating system. I use Linux and have not spent any money to fix what I got. It took a little time trial and error to get everything working but now I have java to run all those game sites, I can watch anything on the net. Except for the sites that refuse to allow Linux and music streaming. For some reason live streaming is not a working object under linux.

Enjoy yourself.
