Wheelie -
I need to do some further testing with applications and I thank you for your input. I am running Ubuntu on a Dell I got for $65 from a leasing company that was turned in. It is a 1.7ghz P4, 512 ram (ubuntu recommends 384, windows xp recommends 1 gig, vista 2 gig!). The hard drive is only 20 gig, but I have to say that NOTHING has frozen, locked up, or crashed to date. I have this computer running as good as my windows PC at literally a fraction of the cost. I could have an office up and running with $65 pc's (plus monitors) compared to the windows comparable which would be at least 5x as much... plus the software expense!

I really like it a lot and if I can get my main applications to run on it, I will use it more, if not permanently.

Does virus protection even exist for Linux, or is this a Windoze issue only?
