I am trying to decide on a legitimate desktop OS for my main PC.
Vista is very nice but will probably be $500+ Australian dollars.
Mac OSX is very nice but would cost a minimum of $999 for a Mac Mini.
So now I am evaluating my PC requirements and thinking maybe I should just =
install a Linux distro and be done with it.
My server runs Mandriva. Today I bought a Linux magazine with 6 distros on =
it. I have another dvd at home with another 4-5 on it so will muck around =
with those to decide.=20
It seems the main popular choices at the moment are Suse and Ubuntu.

Yea I know
It used to run fine in the partition that now has Vista beta on it hehehe.
The only issue is I have an nVidia graphics card. Now, there’s a guy writing an nVidia driver.. it’s in beta at the moment and I understand it has very good software acceleration, but they are working on the hardware acceleration still.
I’m just trying to get away from pirated OS’s and into legit ones. That only leaves Linux
