Linux I've been trying Linux on and off for a couple of years. My first experience with Linux was with a version of Slackware (can't remember) way back in 1996. At the time the installation was so daunting that I gave up all together. For a little background I consider myself a proficient computer user.

Everytime you put a music or DVD disc into a MS Windows XP box MS knows about it. Every time you update your PC, MS knows about it.

Oh, the horror!!!! I mean, how am I going to sleep at night knowing this?

EVery time you install Win XP you must ask MS permission and blessing to do so.

Really? So if I were to reinstall XP on this PC, I would have to call them on the phone and say "Can I please re-install XP?"
