109589 2002-12-30 23:00:00 Hehe, that's about right, Im still using KAte coz I didnt install any office suites, only ABI-Word and that's got some weird looking fonts.

Im taking it that OpenOffice and stuff like that have fonts that come with them?

I think that a lot of people have tried it out, yet because miscrosoft is the monopoly, most people still are dual-booting or have a dedicated PC to try out Linux on.

I just wish I knew of a local dealer who sold Linux games! I would love to buy UT2K3 for on Linux and not Windows!
Where can I buy games and stuff? Would it have to be online?

Cheers

Why not just buy it for both? They both come in the same box :D

109592 2002-12-31 01:38:00 Moved to Mandrake 8.2 April this year. Now runing Mandrake 9.0. The only use I have for windows now is playing games. Every thing I need can be done just as well or better in linux. Also had a play with Knoppix (full cd) and Yoper. Falcdragon (919)
109593 2002-12-31 02:58:00 I also tried Knoppix on the PC World CD and found it to be a neat OS. I am going to try one of the other versions when I get a PC with more grunt. Pato (2463)
