Re: XP or Linux
XP Home is fine for its intended purpose, which is typical home use. I've never had networking problems, file sharing problems, or security issues with either box, Pro or Home. And as far as the interface, that's personal taste. One just has to be careful, that's all, and that's true of any OS.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for Linux, but it's day is still years away. There's just way too much that won't run on it today.

Re: XP or Linux
OK, a question from a friend of mine:
Can XP home be upgraded to XP Pro?

Thats what I run. Im going to keep it on my server since its been stable, secure, and updated so easily. Im probably going to dump it from my honeypots though for the same reason (probably put them back to RedHat)
