That's a very reasonable question. It depends on how you are in one direction or another on the reasonable/unreasonable continuum. :) Also depends on circumstances. Unless you are like my (below) scenario (institutional impositions -- back against the wall from school or work - which we should do something about) -- you should probably go ahead and switch completely and not look back. Fedora will do everything you want right out of the box. I had windows Xtra Pussified version as a dual boot for awhile b/c I was taking grad classes with a professor who imposed Microsoft-only exercises on the class. For 'safety' and not wanting to do an install at 3 am in an emergency, I kept it around. Now that I am out of the class, I don't need windows at all, for anything. Absolutely everything I can do with Linux, although sometimes I have to ask lots of questions to get a similar/compatible application, or to do something I am not used to. As long as you keep a good attitude of friendly experimentation, you should be fine. THe people who have problems are people who want Linux to 'do' everything 'for' them. For example, recently I ran into a limitation of Openoffice.org, and people were talking about other word processing apps on this list. So I d/l' d some other applications (AbiWord and another) and got them to do what I needed to do. Some people want their hand held or throw tantrums when they have to learn something. That is not what Linux is about. They are not usually people that I want to be around anyway, and their technical issues are usually stupid regardless. Congratulations, Neo, on taking a step that many people never take for one reason or another. Do you want the red pill or the blue pill?
