My main reason for going to linux is that I did not have to pay any money for it. All I do is get on the internet and search for things and check my email. I did not want to spend money for an OS just so I can do those things. I have only been using linux for about a month now, and I do not see a major difference between the linux and windows yet.

I do admit that I probably spent alot more of my time getting my system to work using linux. I am dual booting ubuntu 8.04 and Debian-lenny. But after I got my system working, I was satisfied with the effort I put into it, because I learned a few new things.
