Would you recommend Linux over Windows XP?

I ditched Windows completely a bit under a month ago, and I have yet needed/wanted Windows for anything besides CS Source, but I have UT2004 on SuSE :D
Gotta say Linux is powerful and open, there're so much stuff you can do. But I'm still too noob to use FreeBSD, I want unix hahaha.

If you can handle Linux, you can handle ANY UNIX (meaning doing shellscripts & commandline stuff really)...
This is speaking from personal experience!
(UNIX: That is where I started in academia & on various jobs in the 1980's, years/decades ago (along w/ VMS & other IBM midranges OS' (awesome stuff, best commandline system I have EVER seen in fact on OS400))).
I wouldn't call myself a "master of UNIX" but, it's NOT that 'radically different' from Linux imo @ least.
Personally? I think Linux is BETTER actually (in some ways, others, not)!
I want unix hahaha.
Solaris x86: IIRC, there ARE completely FREE builds of it available for a PC, see here:

It says that I have to have "Some Linux Knowledge"...which I don't so I guess no Linux for me.:( It looks better than XP though...

From what I heard Cedega ain't free, but it is one of the best Windows emulators out there.

There are free CVS versions of Cedega available for free, but they might not work as well as the commercial version. CVS Cedega page can be found here: http://transgaming.org/
