I've just started using Linux and I think it's great!
I installed Mandrake 10.1 and despite a few minor problems (see below)
I was able to get it up and running.
I did have to replace a few pieces of hardware like:
My RAID controller (VIA VT6410).
My Printer Lexmark Z68
My Sound board Crystal 1674
My scanner Canoscan 681P parallel port scanner.
My Microsoft Tilt Wheel Mouse.
My ATI All in Wonder video board.

But now that I have solved all the problems, Linux runs GREAT!
