i started out as a windows user with Win98se on my first OEM computer, then when WinME was released i seen what it was like on my brother's computer, it would occasionally lockup & freeze and BSOD worse than my Win98se would, so i did not buy WinME, when XP came out there was the uproar about Product Activation so i did not buy XP and bought Redhat-7.1 which was my first taste of Linux, it ran great, no lockups, no BSODs, no need for a anti-virus, the firewall was built in to the kernel, i tryed other distros, Slackware is ok but takes a little more knowledge and work, Debian can be a nitemare to install if you are not carefull, gentoo's install is more than the avarage computer user has patience for (especially me) well after trying lots of distros, i find myself sticking with my old favorite Redhat now using JAMD Linux www.jamd-linux.com which is a clone of Redhat-9 that has been tweaked a little and had some of the bloat trimmed off to make it all fit on a single CDrom, i can not say Linux is going to be the answer for everyone, but i can say it is the answer for LOTS of people out there allready, if you never used it i say give it a spin, or at least dualboot with your existing Windows install so you can "have your cake and eat it too",
good luck &
