Instead of upgrading to Vista, I am seriously considering Linux.
Not even sure what version I should get.
Right now, I currently use my box for Video gaming and rendering
video to DVD.
It is crucial to remember that Linux is a fundamentally different
operating system from Windows. Switching to Linux should only be
done when you're sure you want/need the benefits of Linux, not
just to "get away from Microsoft" and not just to avoid paying for
a new Windows version. You won't be happy with Linux if you're
looking for a free Windows replacement. You'll be thrilled with
Linux if you're looking for a free Unix-like operating system.
You won't be thrilled with Vista if you go that route. See the
