I have gone to linux... so far so good, ummm, great!!  Sure there are games to play on XP or Vista and I still may one day but the age is here to stay.  I have tried Suse, Ubuntu, and a few others and they are perfectly fine.  No crashed systems anymore.  Once I had loaded printer drivers and the log on was impossible afterword, any user attempt!!  It took 3 days of registry manupulation to gain access to my system, the process was daunting and most all of the software would not function.  Long story short... these are maturing OS's and never really become safe from self destruction.  It is not all the fault of the OS but being able to search a repository and know that what is going to be installed is safer, is enough for me.   So far Linux has all that I need and I use all that I can find.  So in closing, I do not have a broadcom wifi card which can be an issue, but one day this will be the OS to beat.
