    Well, I have a duel boot system because I have certain games I adore and Linux
    has yet to pick them up.

    But.... I have always wanted to be able to watch TV while computing. Recently
    I purchased a Haupauge WinTV card and initially installed it in Windows XP,
    since that is the software that came with it.

    After 3 crashes and it barely working I booted into SuSE 9.1 to give it a
    shot. WOW, Linux is on the verge my friends. Kdetv worked perfectly the first
    time, card recognized... channels set, and blast off. Still waiting for some
    sound configuration problem or crash.... been running it for 10 days now,
    LOL.

    Windows days are numbered, just get the games ported and windows is history on
    this guy's machine!!!!!!

    Proud to be an advocate of Linux.... put 9.1 on 3 of my friends machines so
    far. Hoping for more.
