I am using xp now . I had try vmware linux without GUI. The command line are quite difficult . But I think I will like it when I have time to learn using it , just like other open source software .
I use Windows Xp. i had installed Ubuntu a few years ago, but there was nothing I couldn't do in Windows XP that could be done in Linux. So, Linux has no niche... its just an Operating system... So, I stuck with Windows XP. If I ever feel Linux has unique features, and is better than XP, I'll switch over...
i run linux on a old laptop, only because i don't use it anymore, if it had any good programs maybe than i would use it.
