I admit that I'm a geek. I use Linux. I use Solaris. I use FreeBSD. At times, I use Windows. And without a doubt, I download and try almost every Linux distribution when they come out. Over the last few years, I've tried all of the RedHat/Fedora releases, 2 different Lindows/Linspire releases, Mandrake, Gentoo, Xandros, Suse, Ubuntu, and the list goes on.

Well, many people really do have small home networks and they usually need help, so it's not completely irrelevant.
Anyway, I can't understand, what can motivate someone to "wipe out Windows" - I can understand if one's buing a new computer and considering the options, that's o.k, but why would one wipe out something already bought, already familiar? I noticed that most vocal critics of Windows don't have a clue how to use it and what kind of features it has, even what's already included in the package!
I'd agree that Windows XP Home is crippled and doesn't worth it's money, but Pro is amazing system, if you know how to use it, of course
oh, well, everything above is definately IMHO
