I myself am making the switch. As soon as I get my network router I bought on ebay yesterday and I can quit using my main box as a firewall, I’ll be making the switch. I’ve been using Redhat 9 for a bit and before that 8. In fact, I’ve had a dual boot with every Redhat distro since 6.x but I rarely use it as a desktop. As I’m becoming more saavy I’m finding myself just plain enjoying Linux so much more. There’s some nagging issues I’d like to see resolved, but all in all, I think I’m ready to switch.
I just read an article – very balanced – written for Windows users looking to make The Big Switch. Entertaining and enlightening.
