“Personally, I was hesitant to make the move on my home
computer. Why? Well if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. We were using
Red Hat back then at my shops. My people were trained and after the
obligatory bitching, things settled down and worked well for us. My
computer at work did the job it was meant to do. Appointments,
scheduling and email mostly. It didn’t need to do much to get the
job done.“Ah, but my personal computer? Windows XP. All those apps I used
at home didn’t have a Linux equivalent. I couldn’t be bothered with
a changeover to Linux. Until I hosed the registry so bad it had to
be reinstalled.”
