I have 80 computers in various stages of operation, and, all but four run Linux! Two run Linux and dual boot to the Evil Empire, about twice a year; two are Macs, one is a 6320CD and the other is a 6500/250. The MOST and BEST loved OSes among my many children visitors, students, and family members, is PCLinuxOS-p92 and Ubuntu Breezy Badger. Get some Linux, there are none of the hassles encountered in Microsoft installs, constant reboots!

After that, I just installed some stuff such as ruby, gkrellm and yarssr. I suppose everyone's mileage varies, but for me, Linux has never been a big hassle at all, especially Ubuntu.

I recently switched my thinkpad over to Ubuntu (Dapper beta) as well. Have you tried installing Notes? Most other things seem to work reasonably well, and I am hoping that the new NetworkManager for Dapper handles EAP_TLS a little better than Breezy with just wpa-supplicant. Any tips on getting Global Print to work?
