Overall, I would have to say I prefer Linux over Windows simply because I
have a 100kb LAN in my living room.  However, there was only one problem
I've had with Linux in the past, and that was on an older computer.  I got
the computer for free and I figured I'd use Linux.  I got part way through
the installation and it crashed.  I still haven't figured it out.  I
repartitioned and tried to install again and got the same result.  I finally
tried Windows 98 and it fired up on the first try.  I think it has to do
with some kind of hardware confliction and the fact that Windows 98 is
overall a little more universally accepted on computers.  Luckily, that was
the only computer that that happened to.  I've since given the computer to
my friend to use as a second PC to take the load of family members off his
P133.  Basically, I guess my motto is, "If I can install it on the right
machines, I'll use Linux :)"
