I've done the linux thing a few times, and each time I've come to the conclusion that it's not right for me for my main machine. However, if you have time and patience and all of that stuff, it is usable for everyday.
I have not used any of the windows-on-linux solutions, but I hear Wine mostly works ok.
There's a linux-based media center called MythTV which I keep thinking about using for a home entertainment thing. Every few months I look at the MythTV mailing list archive to see what's new - it is always packed with people who are grinding through an extremely complicated setup. Those that make it through probably never have to mess with it again, or at least have learned enough that it's all easy to them.
I just don't feel like putting in the time anymore. I look at a screen all day for work, plus a bit for fun, and linux seems closer to work than I care for :)
My Viking is quite the Ubuntu god. drop him a line at teknoviking at gmail dot com and he'll be able to answer any questions you have. (His name's Pat, in case you've forgotten. *Grin* )
I miss you, crazy tall guy! I don't know what you are asking about in this post, but I saw your name and became all aflutter. Hope things is digity, brutha!
Many hugs. Send me an email so I can get your new contact number.
