I played with Linux about 8 or 9 years ago. SuSE. At the time it was supposed to be the easiest distro for windows users/dummies to get installed.

No video driver for my desktop. It took 2 weeks to figure out how to install the video driver from a command prompt. Once i got it installed i was able to surf the internet and make text documents etc. But everything was such a pain in the ass to do.

What is it like today?

I am pretty much glued to my PC. I check email/surf the forums and news sites/work with graphic editing software and control system user interface software and visio and dreamweaver all at the same time. Throw in a few spreadsheets/itunes and pronto/rti/urc software with it. Every 3 days i have to purge my desktop because it becomes completely littered (no space left) with new files. @ 1920X1280 thats a lot of files.

Is virtual box or anything else going to allow this to happen instantly? I realize most PC users check email and facebook and search for porn and shop and thats pretty much it. So Linux windows mac whatever is fine for them. What about for those of us who actually use our PC?
