Linux Overview
Pludi,
Thanks so much for the Linux explanation, as someone who often draws parallels you couldn't have done a better job explaining. The best thing for me to have done is testdrive more than one distribution, then decide on my new car. For now I'll continue to drive Freespire but will probably take some time to test a couple of other versions. On the comparison, I drive a 98 escort with 195K on it. Why? Because it runs well gets 30+ miles a gallon and is dependable. The main reason I switched to Linux was the undependability of Windows. If my car broke down as much as Windows I wouldn't still have it. With the last crash I totaled my OS and no longer wish to drive in the same vehicle. Thanks again for the advice.
