Re:HMT Linux users?
lol... those are the names of web browsers, not os's.
and as far as xp, yeah, its cool. its alot better than any other windows os. however, it just drives me ------- insane when im in the middle of something and then all of a sudden xp decides to close down my program and i lose all of my data. this happens with internet exploder, any office xp program, windows media player...etc. ive tried starting over from scratch a few times(use a utility to write all 0's across the whole drive, then format ntfs and install windows). i have all the service packs/updates. i also have a good computer that i personally built 2.5 ghz p4 w/ 1024mb memory and all the nice bells and whistles. there is no good reason why my computing experience should be interuppted so much. granted, i do alot of ---- on my computer that alot of people dont do, but still.
that plus the fact that im also a (currently out of work) network tech. i have alot of experience with windows and novell, but linux is a weak point for me. i figure if i use linux at home i am bound to become familiar with it.

Re:HMT Linux users?
My bad. 
I don't know ----.
I haven't had too many of those error's, except when I'm doing stupid ---- that I shouldn't be or when I have to use "ctrl, Alt, delete". I guess I don't use my computer for more than just surfing the web so I wouldn't have a use for anything else.
