Hello,

Instead of upgrading to Vista, I am seriously considering Linux. Not
even sure what version I should get.

IMHO 2.6 is preferable. Linux is the kernel. Try distrowatch.com to find
out about different Linux distributions.


Right now, I currently use my box for Video gaming and rendering video
to DVD.

Are games like World of Warcraft available to for Linux? Or is there
some PC emulator that can be used to run apps?

wine


I also use Sony's DVD Architect to create DVDs (menus, chapters and
the final render) - is there a Linux equivalent for creating DVDs? If
so where would I find info like this?

No idea how Sony's DVD Architect works, but there are several applications
for making multimedia and data DVDs.


Anyone else make the switch from Windows to Linux for these reasons?
If so - how it is coming along?

Many thanks for putting up with the newbie'ish questions!
