I just have to say this: linux saved my computer. With it on it can run for days, i have never seen it crash. With win98 it crashes within a night's sleep. And that while i made it as lean as possible. It's the famous memory leak that does the trick.

So Vishnu, talking about stability?
I don't think you're speaking out of experience here.

Maybe XP will do a better job, but do you really seee that running on a 933 mHz? I don't think so, plus XP will never be my OS.

Sure, Linux maybe too hard for some people. But i guess you never saw live distro's running from CD.

So there :) .
