Well, I'm thinking that in a year or two this PC is going to be half-dead and I'll be buying parts to build a new PC, or just buy a Mac, either way, (probably build a PC), I'm going to try and rund a dual-boot eventuall, if it's a Mac it'll be Mac OS X/Linux eac with a smalll HDD partition and a Large partition for "data" such as spreadsheets and games, if it's a PC, I'l use that copy of Windoze ME sitting in my closet that was practically ahnded to me for free and linux, each Partitoned into their own little HDD Sections,t ha I'll partiton a large section of the hard drive for Games, Spreadsheets, DV, MP3's, and other "Data".If I go with the "Windows" system itl basically be used as a "Crutch to get me into Linux, and for the few windows-only programs out there right now. I've seen what open-spource can do, and "free" software kis just oen of the perks (Stability is the other big one), but I have one question for Pika and othther 'nix users: Does Linux have any "Firewall" and "VirusScan" programs, like "MacCaffe", and ZoneAlarm, or will I be relying on a no-name no-support VirusScan/Firewall? Reason I ask is because I like having my PC kept as secure as Alectraz, and when I can't do that I get really annoyed.
