"10 days? Well that hardly sounds hard enough! Sure, it doesn't sound so hard but take in account that over 500 million of us use a Windows OS at least once, everyday of the week and you too will see that going cold turkey from XP to KDE might be harder or more limiting than first thought."

>if you're happy using w2k then why are you whining about linux not footing the bill for you? use whatever tool works best for you.
I am not whining. It is true, I'm an happy w2k user. I am practically using only free software (FireFox, OpenOffice, LaTeX, Python), so you understand I want to give Linux a try.
Linux seems to me a strange phenomenon. I'm not interested in knowing that distro A can do this and that. My questions are different. I do not understand why my mouse is working with the distro A and not with the distro B, why I can use the euro sign on distro C and not on distro D, why are the basics so different among the distros. All points of this type seems really strange to me, and never discussed.
