    This is my opinion

    For servers = linux owns windows

    Gaming/Graphic design pc = windows owns linux

    SIMPLE

    Also...if u went to linux u'd hav to use gay 'gimp' cos u cant us photoshop with it <_<

    Photoshop does work with linux it just needs some tweaking... And gareth, if you don't know you don't say... Gimp is a very good program but it is a lot different of photoshop. About games, buy cedega or download it on some p2p it'll let you run windows games on linux

    If you wanna try out linux, download knoppix, it's about 700mb and boots the operating system off the disk. So you can have windows installed on your harddrive but when you want to, you can boot from the knoppix disk and use linux instead. :D

    I have a Redhat 9 webserver running apache, its so much better than windows.
    However, i dualbooted on my main Pc with redhat for a while and it has to be said, Linux does have a long way to go before its as user friendly and as universaly compatible as windows. So, servers on Linux and workstations on Windows, basicly.
    And if you buy Red Hat you get a sheet of metallic stickers! and a case badge. ;)
