Moving on to other matters....
I am getting ready to build my first Linux box in a week or so (waiting on hardware to arrive). I am also thinking about tinkering with OpenBSD in the near future. I am curious how many members of this forum currently run a non-windows OS from home and what is the OS of choice?

Flabooble!
I had red hat 8.0 on one machine and it installed sooo easily.
It was nice for 3 days until I found I was totally lost and there were no apps I could run at all because everything I own is for windows and I don't know poopie one about linux so...

We are doing some experimenting here with k12ltsp; a version of Red Hat that is thin client based, it is preaty cool (when all the drivers are working)

I briefly played with RedHat 8 and Mandrake under VMWare before putting RedHat 8 on an old laptop and running it as a firewall.
If I'd had more time I would have taken more of an interest - like ITLU I got annoyed that I had no apps to run on it - but I chickened out once I'd set up iptables.

I've played around with BeOS and Corel Linux in the past, but like my friends here, all the apps I needed to use were on the windows platform - and I don't expect my wife to use Linux either. Besides, I got a free copy of WinXPPro from MS, so why would I fool around with Linux?

Daemon, what's your preference of the non-windows OS?
