    Ok, seriously, what's driving you back? Something you need which doesn't work in Linux? Can't game? Damn, this is just so sad. LOL

    I have my work machine dual booted with Vista Biz and Ubuntu. I game mostly on Vista, and I'm going to start booting to Ubtuntu at work to see if I can integrated it with the domain and such.

    LOL I read right now there are some hoops to jump through to sync....I'll check it out though and hope for better support soon. Man, I used linux years ago and it was definitely buggy...it really has come a long way. The more you use those weird named programs, the more you actually appreciate how well they work.

    Yeah but I always get a problem with Linux whether it be a small one or a big problem. One problem can be enough to force you back to another operating system like it has done with me. I mean Avant-Window-Navigator is buggy and can cause major problems.
