I've never used anything other than Windows but that's more down to my being safe in the knowledge that anything I install on my machine will be compatible.

Hmm, so you've never had a piece of hardware that came with poor drivers, wouldn't install or function properly, had software that crashed straight after an install or used Windows ME then? Mind you if you have something that works then why change it? You'd only do that if you had to change something and it didn't work, then you might consider and OS change to get it to work. Personally I use Linux (Suse and on this laptop I'm posting on, Ubuntu) a lot more than Windows. I only use XP really to play some games like Battlefield. There will always be a debate, nearly all OS's have their plus points and negative ones too. But I'm sticking with Linux, does everything I need and I don't have to pay for wat I can't afford.

No, XP has always been fine for me.

What about RedHat, is that not any good any more?
