Linspire As a system administrator, I have used Windows on the desktop since 2.0 and used to run Windows XP at home for my family. I use Linux and Windows servers at work and prefer (Red Hat) Linux for its security, stability and usefulness in a company with a diminishing IT budget. More than a year ago I started experimenting with Linux as a desktop solution and after installing and using more than 7 different distros along with many various versions of those distros, I found a distro that is doing everything its suppose to do, right out of the box. I'm talking about the pleasantly suprising Lindows 4.0.

well, you don't debug stuff with gcc, you do with GDB.

Also, as far as running as root goes. It took me about 30 seconds to add a user and I explained to my GF that she needs to provide the "security" passwords when she's asked to and that it protect her computer against viruses and she's happy with that!
