Well, the answer here is quite complicated. It depends. It depends upon what you're up to, and what are the demands from you system. If you are a game guru, you will find out that there are games for Linux, but less. Well, the good ones are working with Linux boxes also (Like Unreal Tournament, Quake 3, Civilization 3), but most just do not, unless you try wine, which is quite buggy, and most ikely won't work. However, if your computer is set up to work, that is, typing spreadshits, writing letters, connecting to the internet, etc. you might find that Linux can do all this, and most likely, better and cheaper. Mind you that moving to a new platform demands lots of reading, as Linux is *not* m$ Windows, and configuring it for the few first times means lots of reading and learning. After all, it's up to you to decide, isn't it? Ez.
