    So 27,000. That's like a lot huh?

      Yeah, I realize already that was very snide. I would really like to ask how, in 3 months, only 27,000 users responded. Is that even marginally representative of the user base?

      To assuage the knee jerks, I'm a penguin lover myself. I'm typing this currently in Firefox 1.5x because FC6 won't make that leap until 3.x. I don't have a view either way on the distro battles...except that gentoo is for people more patient than myself who might also have less chromosomes(I keed, I keed). Also I enjoy the taste of foot enough to request seconds...that's right... in my mouth.

    Have you tried Ubuntu? It's probably the most refreshing experience with Linux I've ever had, everything really is done just as well if not better than with Windows. That's not to say that it doesn't have it's hiccups every now and then, but honestly so does Windows. I'm probably more capable of fixing problems on Windows, but the support from the experienced Ubuntu user base is amazing, and fast.
