I have been using Linux since 1993. I installed the first version of Slackware on a 16MB 386sx-25. Since then I have been using it almost exclusively on one or more of my PCs. So I consider myself as a bit of an expert. I have been using computers since 1982 mostly PCs, but also VAX mainframes and SPARC systems. Operating systems (and GUIs) I have been using include CP/M, DOS, Windows from Version 2 to XP, Geos, Beos, SCO Unix, Solaris, OS/2 and quite a few Linux Distros.

I use Mandrake 10 to game(DooM, Quake 2 and 3, UT2004, DOSEmu and DOSBox); organize, print, and burn to CD/DVD pictures from my digital camera and scanner; surf the net; send and receive email; backup my files; balance the checkbook; record baby jabbering and transfer audio tapes to CD; and archive my cds to mp3 and burn them to seperate CD collections.
Mandrake 10 does everything I need it to do, except maybe play the children's Reader Rabbit and similar games, and a few windows version of games I have. Wine will surely support them down the road, or I will try WineX... dunno.
I joined the Club to get Mdk10 Community and then later Official, and plan to get the PowerPack+ DVD later on. I might get my brother to use Linux (Mandrake) soon, from the way he is looking at it. For myself, I have not seen my windows me(98 lite) install for months. Hopefully, Linux will spread more and more, and ppl will have more software choice, and ms will also ramp up quality
