I use Windows. Linux seems like it would be interesting to try, but I'm a chicken. I don't know anything about the whole open-source thing, and I'm afraid that I'd manage to royally screw something up.

There's no sense in buying it :D You could easily go to http://www.linuxiso.org and download one of the ISO's (an entire image of a CD) and burn it to a CD-R. It probably should be done on a broadband connection, as each ISO can get up to be about 700-800 MB.

And DM, I can easily see where people can get that, my Knoppix does the same thing. Linux starts itself up right when you turn it on, but the GUI takes a bit longer, and that's why none of the icons show up before it says that :P

Well, my dad, the family laptop and my computer have Windows on it but a server we have has Linux, and some other ones I can't remember XD.

Gosh. To be a year younger than me, you know more about Linux then I do. o.o But, technically, Lindows is 'Linux for Dummies'. I'm still in the 'dummy' category for Linux.

I can deal with 2000, but it's XP I can't stand. *huggles ME*

Play the linux CD backwards, and you'll hear satanic messages.

That's nothing though, play it forward and it'll install linux.

I have no experience of Linux, I've always used Windows for as long as I can remember, so Windows it is then. ^_^

I have Windows, I wanted Linux but its not really a priority anymore, maybe in the future.... but probably not o_O
