Linux rocks!

Over the last year or so I have become very interested in alternate (non-Microsoft) OS' and their usability. I have been working on Linux for a few months now and I find that is has really matured over the last few years. When I first tried installing Linux about 4 years ago, it was a nightmare and I gave up before going through with the installation. I installed Red Hat 9 on my laptop last month and setup was a breeze, it even picked up my Wireless PCMCIA card with no issues!

Everytime I find one of my favourite programs (or a clone of it) available for Linux, I am gleefully excited. So now I have these programs running on Linux - ICQ, Yahoo Messenger, Real Player, XMMS (Winamp), Evolution (Outlook). Although my laptop still dualboots into Windows and I don't use Linux for regular work yet, I am looking forward to the day when I do!
