I shall see what I can do. Might need to tidy my desk up first.

Could we by chance see a photo of your system setup in your room? It would be cool if you got in the pic too but seriously I’d love to see your setup.

Ah nothing like a good quote. It’s fair to say that I am getting quite comfortable with Linux and if I could replace windows I would. However mainstream media and hardware vendors are not making things easy.

I can confidently say that I will not install windows on any pcs I build from scratch that are not built for games. A pc games box is the only reason I would use windows. Secondly because I sometimes have to bring work home and modify it, it is alot easier to work with office than open office. Less chance of it messing it up. If I want to create a new document I will use open office.

Another point I will pick up on are “large monolithic kernels”. Whilst this may be true of distributions like ubuntu catering for the masses. Being a Gentoo user I have always compiled my own kernel and it only contains the things I want and is setup for the purpose I want.

So in summary you were closest with point B but that is mainly down to games support and some missing drivers mainly due to manufacturers. I still think linux is the way forward.

“By 2007 I want to be comfortable enough with Linux to be able to rid myself of windows alltogether.”

So either A, you aren’t comfortable with Linux or B, Linux isn’t as good as you claim. (I say large monolithic kernels are a bad idea).
