OT: Desk Tops

[President_Elect_Shang]

Who here is:

1. Using Linux?
2. Have you used Windows? If so why did you switch?
3. How much did it cost?
4. Can your PC talk to a Windows PC on the same network?

I ask because I have been wondering about switching my OS and I have other computers sharing the same network; the kids computers, but I need to stay connected to them. So far I have been with MS since the days of MS-DOS 3.something-er-other. Anyway I figure if I don't change soon I might as well give up. Funny how things work out. In the Army computers were part of my job. Now days I am not sure what is what and which is best. You probably don't even want to know the specs of this computer!
