The biggest frustration you are going to have is trying to run both... you'll notice soon enough that if you go with one or the other (I would recommend Linux) things become soooo much easier (read better).
Extremely valid point. Though I still have the token W2K system and am forced to downgrade to Windowx XP at work, 99.9% of what I need can be done in *nix. SUSE excels at managment tools and stability. Once you figure how to do a few things "the linux way" it is worth your while. For the past year, now, I pretty much dread having to go back to Windows. Though, like most, I've got SUSE on one system and Wintendo on another. For those few apps I need in SUSE, they provide Wine or you can purchase Crossover Office (http://www.codeweavers.com/) which allows you to run many Wintendo applications on Linux, such as Visio: http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/suse/2006/visio2002_on_nix.jpg http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/suse/visio_suse.jpg or MS Office: http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/outlook_save.jpg http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/word_openoffice.jpg or MS Project: http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/suse/cx_project.jpg or even IE: http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/linux_dell600m_ie_sample.jpg
I have been windoze free for several years now... I change the things I can, I accept the things I can't change... and I look to a higher power to help me know the difference! You can change too...
