I've thought about using linux before because Windows XP pisses me off something terrible, and since we got XP on our family PC it has been the most unstable piece of shit ever. I can hardly play any PC games on it anymore, I have all sorts compatability issues with different software and hardware, it runs slower, and is just an all around piece of shit. I can't even change the resolution of my screen anymore!

The only problem is that I wouldn't want to always boot from a CD (I dunno why), and it's not only me who uses this PC, and I fear I would be the only person able to get to grips with it (it's taken my mum long enough to get to grips with Windows, and every time I change a background she gets confused and thinks i've broken it.. lol). So for now i'm going to stick to Windows until I get a new PC myself (something much faster, too ).
