I just started using Linux on dual boot with winxp, and since Linux has been installed (3 weeks) I've not booted into Windows once.

I only use windoze to play games sometimes.

I just installed a HD and Mandrake, so I'm trying to ween myself off windows.

Linux almost exclusivily. There's a Windows 2K HD for games, but I avoiding booting into that as much as possible.

I don't play games.
I have no sound and so no movie.
But I'm living without windows.

Moe, you wanna come over and use my machine? ; )

absolutely. no plan to ever use another m$ product

(voluntarily, anyway - once they've bought enough politicians we may not have a choice...)

Genesee, you always have a choice, really.

yes , sure.
I installed in my machine both windows and linux, but believe me, I did opened my windows for many and many months.
I do everything in linux.
I develop in C and C++ with GUI fltk
I am a teacher and all my studients develop and prepare article and report on linux platform
I write document with Lyx (scientific word) interface for latex
and of course sound, image, and many other things ...
Sometimes I run my machine as a server web and server nfs to give students a possibility to download files ..;;

what otherthings do you want ?

I do a lot of graphics in 3Dsmax, so I doubt I can ever 100% convert. Can anyone offer any tips on this?

Yes try maya. I heard it's good.

blender just recently went open source, never used it but I heard it's really good for 3d stuff.

Even in Hollywood they use Linux more and more for 3D & related stuff, but I doubt that a lot of the software they use is Open Source. Maya and Houdini seem to be leading packages. Hey, The Lord of the Rings is made with Linux!
