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.

"i am fine with SNs but having to go online or call a phone number to get something i bought and paid for working is a complete PITA epecially when you are installing it on multiple systems"
Did you read your license? You are only allowed to use your product key on one machine at a time. By installing it on multiple you break the license. You paid to use the software on one computer, you did not pay for a guarantee it would work or for use of the binaries. You own that cd, the box, and rights to use it on one computer.
I don't agree with the license agreement, but that's life. If it's so much trouble maybe you should find a product with a better license.

How does everything on this site relating to Linux turn into trolling and flame baiting. If you anti-linux zealouts can't deal with linux zealouts then why do you start arguments with them? Can't we all just realize everything has its flaws, some more than others, and that nothing is perfect for everyone or even better for everyone. Instead maybe we could be productive and cite our problems and preferences.
I have Linux and Windows dual booted on one machine, Linux on another, freeBSD on another, and System 8 on another machine (soon to be wiped and replaced by Debian). Everything breaks, some more than others.
