Wife won't try Linux... Windoze addict.. So the desktop is dual boot
with Fedora and Windows XP Pro for her. I have two hard drives for the
laptop. One with Fedora and the other with Windoze XP Pro. Its an amazing
experience to see the difference in speed and function you get with directly
addressed memory! I have OpenOffice on all machines. The laptop and desktop
are, I'd guess, about 3 times faster in the Linux boot and they have never
crashed or been nailed with viruses. Can't say as much for the Windoze and
Windoze apps.
I do almost all of my email through Google's Gmail - otherwise I have
Thunderbird in all configurations and use Firefox exclusively as a browser.
Way more better.... ;-)
Cheers!!
Jim
