I try to switch to Linux too: Debian/GNU-Linux 2.1r5 (because it ie stable)
It is easy to install If you like to get a ready to use Workstation, but 
note, Debian is "THE POWER LINUX" and many configurations must be made by 
hand... and if you like to get more the a Workstation, learn it...

...it is GREAT and FREE !!!

Oh yes, I am programming with C and C++ under DJGPP and watt-32 since last 
year, and I programm very careful, because I like to port my 32Bit-Dos-Stuff
to Linuy easyly... 

Dou you know RHIDE for Linux ???   ;-))

Linux rebootet man in drei Fällen: 
Neuer Kernel, neue (Board-)Hardware, Stromausfall....

Aber Windows rebootet man auch in drei Fällen: 
Schutzverletzung, Bluescreen, keinen Bock...
