Linux is also good for brand new dell desktops that come with vista. Let me explain. Last Christmas we bought a new dell desktop for the kids. On Christmas morning after they ripped off the Christmas paper my next job was to hall the boxes into my kids room and set up.
Everything is now set up and i for the first time hit the power button dreading what Vista was going to bring. I didn't have to wait long it got as far as the vista splash screen and yep the blue screen of DEATH.......Restarted 3 times same problem and the 4 time after 10 minutes i was on the vista desktop. Then another blue screen of DEATH.
I gave Microsoft 4 tries then i wiped the hard drive and installed edubuntu Linux. A educational version of Ubuntu. To this very day not one single problem. Linux just works!
I must also mention all 4 home pc's run Linux full time all networked including wireless. I never had to install a single driver.
