I don't actually use Linux at the moment, apart from my web hosts. I'm not doing much, at home, in the software industry lately ... the weather is, at least sometimes, too nice to be indoors. But Linux is one of the reasons Google was successful out of the gate, and we can all take advantage of that.

For most, IT is a cost center. Software and computing are "enabling technologies," or stuff we need ... but nobody buys your product because you use Excel 2007. That contributes to a business, but isn't the cause for its success. On that note, if people are able to get the same work done as efficiently, but spend less, they have more profit, or can lower their prices to be more competitive, or ...

Google needed a lot of computing power, so they gathered a lot of cheap computers, and ran free Linux instead of expensive Windows on each of them. If I had dozens of servers, I'd be looking to do the same. I prefer Windows on the machine I do my work on, but for specific reasons that don't apply to everyone else. That means I'm burdened with a cost others don't need to take on.

I haven't completely switched to Linux yet, buy I've got a dual-boot system running Windows and Mandrake. I haven't yet tried Ubuntu, but I'm thinking about it. I've tried Red Hat and SUSE in addition to Mandrake, but I really like Mandrake.

Scott,

Glad I could help. It was certainly the easiest network connection experience I have ever had. =) Have fun with Ubuntu!

Thanks for the encouraging post. I loaded Ubuntu 6.1 on my laptop a few months back but could never get the wireless to work so i didn't use it (the laptop dual-boots between XP and Ubuntu because I need XP for work). Just this week I was planning on re-installing Ubuntu with 7.4 because I heard how easy it was. Your success has locked my decision. Thanks again.
