Actually, I have noticed that the XP vs. 2K thing is kinda a even split. When 2k first came out I tried it and it crashed my comp 3 times before I had it installed... then it crashed some more. I understand that it has gotten better since then.... but I still a XP man... Basically Xp is a very stable (Ultra funky stable) version of windows that comes a with a bunch of "useful additions" that are only useful for newbies and can easily be turned off. It takes 5 minutes to fix it if you know what to do (I'll help). The only annoying thing that i actually kept is the auto updates... because it find security holes like a few hours after there posted and fixes them (it bugs you to restart your machine, but you can make it go away if you wish).
So I push for you to join the XP revolution!!!!!
PS I thinking of getting a linux dual boot, but i know nothing of the administrative stuff, or about the distros... I going to use it mainly for programming and a little web server stuff (Like mysql and cgi stuff).... what ditro is good for a guy who dosent want to become a linux guru, just a programming user?
