Oh yah, just a disclaimer, that is a work set up.
my computer at home crashed and burned about a year ago, and i couldnt care less. i hate these god damn things. After sitting at work burning my eyes out on dual screens for 8 hours, the last thing i want to see in my house is a computer.

I run linux on my Laptop (Fedora Core 4). Its a really nice system. Highly stable, better support than microsoft could offer.
I can run any Windows program in WINE (windows emulator) within Linux without even partitioning my drive. If you can just get past the point that you have to learn how to enter commands at a console screen, its well worth the trouble.

Well, I don't think Linux has as steep of learning curve as people think. Case in point: I switched my parents to linux after too many Windows issues about two years ago. They didn't know everything right away, but they learned really quick, have had no complaints, and I haven't had one support call. They were essentially computer-illiterate too. They're using Mandrake. I used to use it, then switched to Gentoo, now Suse.
My wife uses Suse for all her stuff, work, email, web, grad school stuff(now done). Works great and haven't had any big problems.
Bite the bullet and try it. It's worth it. I've been using it since '99, and will always use it. I even run Ubuntu on another drive in my G4 PowerMac.
Anyways, here's a screenie from my Linux box. Suse 9.2 - this is an old screenie though...
