  1. I tried to go Linux free by aussie_a · · Score: 1, Troll

    I tried to go Linux free from 7 months, but ultimately the various shortcomings of the software used under Linux and Linux itself (apparently I had a driver problem that made my internet connection work quite slow), drove me back to Windows XP. I do, however use OOo, Gimp, Firefox and Thunderbird.
