So, after, playing with Tiger and Leopard (Mac OS X 4 and 5, respectively) and installing the RC of Windows 7 on my PC, I have gone back to using LINUX. I went to the Xubuntu and Kubuntu sites to download the latest .iso files, but then found I had a Hardy Heron Xubuntu CD hidden away in my closet. Hardy has been out since 2008 and is not the most recent release (I think there are two ahead of it now), but I forgot how much I truly enjoyed using it.
If you make the commitment to learn just a little terminal code, LINUX is super-easy to use, especially with the recent improvement to the distribution network. The first thing I did was got Java and Flash for internet browsing needs, then I installed all of my networking tools (remote desktop, folder mounting, network analysis). Finally I installed "wine" to run programs like Office and PhotoShop.
So far the experience has been far superior to Windows Seven and MAC OS distributions.
