Anyone made the switch?

It has been a couple months for me. I kept the dual boot for some windows games I like that do not run well in Wine or Cedega. Other than that I don't boot it up all that much. I have more fun going through tutorials on programming and such; right now I am going through a book on linux commands and shell scripting. For games, I am mostly stuck on klickety....that darned thing has me hooked

i have switched completely... except for games. i reboot to windows to play WoW, but unfortunately that happens every day, so im actually rarely in linux. i have WoW running in linux, but it just works better in windows. if i could get about 10 more fps in linux id have no use for windows.

I made the switch about 6 months ago, look back? Not to Windows, just to Dreamweaver and Fireworks.

When I first built my PC back in 2003 I had Windows 2000 and Slackware on it. I used Slackware most of the time, but I had Windows just in case. I would boot into it sometimes, mainly to keep it updated. Then once during Windows Update, it spontaneously rebooted and the registry was corrupted. So I just formatted it as ext3 and got the space back

I was never that much of a gamer and don't have any exotic hardware, so it wasn't a big adjustment. Now I couldn't imagine going back.
