I hadn't used anything but M$ since the late 80s - but secretly wanted to learn Linux and this was a good chance. I tried Knoppmyth (which worked great out of the box) but gave up after trying to tweak things - it didn't like anything but the stock installation. I then tried Jarod's guide, installed FC5, and haven't looked back since (other than going FC6, F7, F8).<br>
<br>Now my home network is a hodge-podge of Windows (both dedicated and as VM machines on Linux), OSX and Linux. They all have strengths and weaknesses (Linux really doesn't have a good video editing program for example) and I'm not religious about any of them - best tool for the job really.<br>
