Linux is becoming too friendly so I've decided to use windows OS.

LOL

yeah, I'm starting from scratch. So far it is strictly command line, no GUI. I went with Debian, which is a flavor of Linux. I needed something new to play with. This is my first try at Linux, so far it is easier than I thought it would be.

yeah, the secret to using all the functionality of Linux is to use the command line. I was comfortable with Redhat for my server and haven't used any Linux variant for more than 1 year except Redhat.

Next problem you will meet is compatibility of your peripherals (printer, scanner, etc.). Problem on how to unzip/extract a zip file was also common during redhat days.

well, it detected my USB printer automatically, even recognized it as an HP ColorSmart 4200. Even my wireless card was handled by default, with no driver install necessary. CDROM, floppy, harddrive all no prob. So there ain't much left. I've had more problems getting things to work under Windows XP.

Still have my sound card to go, but it's a standard SoundBlaster PCI64, so I expect no problems there.
