LINUX chatter

[Life's-a-Psyop]

I was curious as to what Linux version you were using and how you like it?

I made the switch to, new years resolution, no more MS Gestapo, selected Ubuntu having won award for most user friendly and be easy enough for wife to figure out. I was even surprised to find that the new Macs have a flavor of Linux for their kernel now.
I keep on finding reasons to like it, there is just a couple of programs that only run on windows I have another computer for, but trying to encourage the company to come out with a linux version, hopefully not too much longer for that.

The support community for linux out there is incredible and it is all free as it should be.

Mint Linux is probably more user friendly than even Ubuntu.

I'm using Linux Mint, which is based on Ubuntu, and it's fantastic. My geek skills are lacking, so I wanted something user friendly with community support.

Linux has come a long way. The "live CD's" allow you to test drive it on your system before installing it. I dual-boot, using Linux for all internet activity and keeping winblows in isolation (still using win2k).

Linux is much more secure, a firewall is all that is needed. No more screwing around with windoze updates and the adware/spyware BS. Actually, I'm getting to the point where I don't need winblows at all anymore. Woohoo!

I, myself, am migrating to bare metal hypervisors and cloud computing.

I like to run too many different OSes from Windows to Linux to UNIX. The above meets my needs nicely.
Working on whipping up some sort of SAN implementation too.
