So what are you running FN? I'm not a big fan of Linux myself, but I'll take it over Windows. I prefer FreeBSD Unix. However, these days I like Mac OS X for my desktop, which happens to be FreeBSD based underneath. FreeBSD still runs my mail, web, spam filtering, and firewall, etc.

Rock on!

Well we both know it's a Mach kernel, derived from BSD. So it's as about BSD as the TCP/IP stacks most operating systems use (eeeeh, all of 'em?). I love mac hardware, but I dislike a lot of stuff about their user interface. It's like they went out of their way to make sure you forget about right clicking, and threw any hotkey combo you knew out the window.
Rock on!

As for the interface, just plug in a 5-button mouse w/scroll wheel and they all work naturally. I have no idea why Macs use a 1-button mouse. I can't stand using one and the first thing I did was replace it with a decent Logitech.

It's not a web browser, and has little to do with web browsing. It is an operating system, and for many things it is better than windows.
If you are stuck with windows and are not able to take the months and years to learn *nix, I would recommend using Firefox as a web browser.

I've been using Vista on a brand new laptop at work for about 8 months now and not only does it not suck, but its a huge improvement over XP and trust me I've been using XP and loving it since I bought my home laptop and desktop 7 years ago. I still laugh at the Mac versus PC commercials, not because I don't believe that a mac is better or not or anything but they are just funny. Anyway IMO Vista is just fine.

Actually maybe I should have said that Vista is different and I like it a lot, not that it is improved. See even in an operating system I get overly excited[8D][8D][8D]
