Hi,

I work for a well known educational organiusation, which I won't mention cos I ain't giving the assholes publicity (look out for a sucks site soon)

My job is to get educational software running on a highly unreliable platform, Windoze.

It was always bad before but Windoze ME (or Monkey Edition as I refer to it) took the biscuit, virtually nothing will run on it.

Then came XP, even worse, I actually think that Microsoft should be prosecuted for the poor perfrmance of its OS products, nenver mind anti-competitive business practices.

oh, and if you're reading this Bill, up yours!!

No wonder many ITs are Windoids. Their jobs depend on M$ crapiness.

pcman:
Believe me, I'm no windroid, the sooner my organisation starts to support other platforms such as Linux the better.

I also want to get rid of Windoze on my home PC, can anyone recommend a particular Linux ditribution that I can download for free and any sort of replacement software for things such as office and IM clients?

Cheers

red hat 9 or mandrake 9.1
gaim for IM
open office for an office suite.

Open office can read and write to ms office files, and it is a smaller file.

i am using red hat 9 right now, but i kinda want to put mandrake back on. Both are excellent distro's.
