No more XP on the Laptop

Windows XP is no longer on my laptop. I am now running RedHat's Fedora Core 3 Project (Linux). What better way to become more fluent in another OS then running it all the time for everyday usage. Only real problem that I have encountered thus far was the number of dependency issues I have run into with the installation of new programs. Other then that my programming background has come in handy for understanding how to compile and build programs. By the way, never having to restart your computer can come in handy I have ran Fedora for 100 days without a single restart and it still runs perfectly.

For those of you that would like to try it out it is located at (http://fedora.redhat.com/). I must warn you that Windows XP will seem really junky after using Fedora. Did I mention that its free as opposed to $250+ for XP?
