I'm working toward only using Linux. There are programs I use a lot that I
can't run on Linux, and there are no alternatives for them. Gimp is not
PhotoShop by any stretch, and personally I don't even like it. So I keep a
PC
for Windows XP with a few things that just won't work for me on Linux.
As a matter of fact lots of days I wouldn't even start Windows if not for
my
PDA. I like the calendar/sync etc and there is no way I know to get around
that. I wish there was. Otherwise there would be no need most of the day.
I have even installed Office XP and every program in works pretty much the
same as Windows. Quite a few Windows apps work, but not enough yet.
In less than two years I hope to be completely free of Windows. My next
project is to get it on my laptop.

Experimenting on a serious scale now with Linux now that excellent
projects
like Open Office.org, Joomla!, Firefox 2 and other open source items are
becoming very good products. Yeah I have to keep a boot partition with
W2k
for Quickbooks but that's it. Even AVG has a Linux version out.
