That doesn't come as much of a surprise Fred, if I'm not mistaken SUSE 
has been good to you. If I wanted to learn as much about Linux as many 
of the people in this list did, and of course grow accustomed to the 
things that I'd rather were different but couldn't change, then I'm sure 
I'd be much happier with Linux than I am now.

Right now in fact I'm running Ubuntu, I like to keep an eye on the most 
suitable distribution I can find for myself. I'm sure my scanner would 
work with it, my iPod and my digital camera would too. My webcam aught 
to as well given it's age. My printer doesn't work well with it though, 
and I have to unplug the bluetooth receiver for my keyboard and mouse 
and plug it back in every time I boot up Ubuntu in order to get it to 
see these devices because of the order in which it loads the bluetooth 
kernel module. I also haven't managed to get it to work in dual display 
while the motherboard for my Vista system was off for warranty 
replacement (I'm not impressed with Asus). Of course Photoshop Elements 
won't run natively on Ubuntu, and the backup program that came with 
Ubuntu provides no feedback, it's too transparent and I can't tell when 
it's running, when the last backup was completed, or whether or not it 
was completed successfully. Vista accompanied with the software I 
already own provides me with the things that I'm waiting for Linux to 
get, other than that it's coming along nicely.
