you'll only boot to win to play games.
Im been using windows from beta 1 so its not like I hate it,
but a knoppix installed on hd has everything I need besides directcx9 so
I actually have made a new best friend.
Im a programmer and once you learned Bash, you'll start feeling that the console
in XP is sort of braindead.. For a poweruser, linux has so much more to offer.
Also, I setup some boxes with knoppix for some (former win98 user and they love it
as it just keeps booting everyday. They are clueless on computers but Kmail and FireFox works
for them as replacement for outlook & IE. Normally They trashed win98 in 2-4 weeks but
now I never hear from them
yeah i need to use ms for games (gamer to) have heard WINE can sometimes step in? not sure how easy though. can i ask how you installed knoppix on hd. or did you download debian and do it that way, also how easy was it to install? was thinking of a dual boot with xp pro? bought some people to firefox already, might try em with knoppix. bet they will love it. if everyone uses it they will have to produce linux games lol
