          many reasons i guess
          doesn't it represent total freedom from the mainstream
          most linux distros are free...you can always have the latest version
          development is community driven and not by big business
          for reasons i don't fully understand, viruses are not really an issue
          really easy to use systems are growing rapidly
          a lot of "equivalent" software is becoming available all the time...mostly free
          drivers usually available...good community support
          many native windows applications (including SU) can run on emulators or virtual machines
          hey the list goes on

          if you want to read more, check out the articles on TechRepublic. here's one for starters
          http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/window-on-windows/?p=11

          it's not all a walk in the park...there can be problems
          i'm a big fan. but i haven't gone all the way...my computers are xp/linux dual boot.

            i couldn't handle a change right now (well, that and i guess i don't want to change)..
            and besides, i just learned how to properly pronounce 'linux' about 4 days ago πŸ˜„

                haha

                for starters, the first syllable doesn't sound like "lie"
                i always said it as if i were saying "Linus" (charlie brown's bud) with an X instead of an S on the end

                    Microsoft has put an end to your need for any third party help with:
                    onetouch.com - virus scanner (free at the moment)
                    defender - anti-trojan (always free)
                    xp/vista - built in firewall (or free ZoneAlarm by Checkpoint)

                      personally i wouldnt trust any of those (except zonealarm, that was pretty good last time i used it.) I have them running and i can't think of a single occasion on which they detected a threat, and i have had several trojans/viruses.

                          Hi pinari,

                          I would refer you to my original first post here.
                          Rising Anti-virus does a boot-time and memory scan before launching Windows.

                          Regards
                          Mr S

                                  Where can i find a free antivirus that will get viruses that start with the computer? I have AVG/spybot/and one other that i run, but i need an antivirus that will get the ones that hide until you start your computer. If you know viruses im sure you know what im talking about. Thanks!

                                    I also used to use AVG and I did like it although for some reason, this Avast sems top be more "convenient" for me now. But I can't say anything wrong about AVG

                                    The same for me, I've nearly tried every product and ended since one and a half year with avast and am satisfied, regarding terms of reliability and resource charge.
