Wierd, I moved away from Windows to Linux because I didn't want to mess around
with the OS all the time. Granted this was back in 2000, and I was using
Windows 98, but I got tired of reinstalling Windows 98 all the time, having to
wipe it, reinstal, put my configuration back the way I liked it. With Linux I
wanted an OS I could install once, configure, and it would stay that way.
