-180 days or so

You think that's enough time?

Despite all the advice given me the other day I'm going back to XP for the next little while. I don't really care about speed, I just need something that I know is going to work. And is not a Mac.

I'm pretty sure Tim recommends Ubuntu Linux.

Well, maybe not superior to OpenSUSE, Slackware, Debian, ArchLinux, Zenwalk, Vector Linux, Kubuntu, or Mandriva Linux but clearly better than Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Fedora (okay, and maybe CentOS too).

I'm not a computer guy, but I keep hearing Red Hat referred to as the "Microsoft of Linux"

Do you have to upgrade to Windows 5 before you can upgrade to Windows 7?

you have done one too many skull crushers.

Good point, I got a little carried away. I've actually never used Kubuntu. I've used all the others.
