HMT Linux users?

Re:HMT Linux users?
i dont have any spyware on my system. i keep careful tabs on that ----. the only stuff i have running in the backround are norton antivirus, zonealarm firewall, and panicware's popupstopper(the old school one without spyware). whenever i see bullshit processes that should not be running i will end the process tree. remove it from msconfig, delete the files associated with it, and edit the registry to get rid of keys that should not be there. i dont have any toolbars or stupid ----, and the only browser plug ins i allow are ---- like flashplayer and other necessary stuff.
now i know what you are going to say, zonealarm and ESPECIALLY nortons AV will cause errors ALOT in other programs. however, i feel that i must have these programs running(in addition to being behind a hardware firewall). without them, its like having unprotected sex with a bitch on her rag that has aids and you have a cut on your dick.
ok, i will admit. out of the box with all of the service packs and updates, xp pro(---- home) is very stable. however, who doesn't install third party stuff? im not saying ---- made by some bullshit company, but what about software that is made by companies like symantec and other major software companies? it is NECESSARY to install 3rd party software like nortons, and modifying those dll files will surely make your system ---- itself.
w2k w/ service pack 4 is more stable and secure than xp, however it has less support than xp, which can sometimes be a pain in the ***. also, i have found that if you sneeze on your machine win98 will need a reboot...lol.
im not trying to make a case saying linux>windows>others or anything. linux is not bulletproof and has its own problems(haven't encountered any yet but im sure i will). im just trying something new because im sick of dealing with all the same old bullshit, plus i want to expand my capabilities as a network tech.
all os's have problems. most actually run great if you dont ---- with them. my old mcse instructor always used to tell people pebcak. that is, "problem exist between chair and keyboard." lol.
