…but don’t know where to get software, or whether your games will work…
have a look at this link
http://linuxshop.ru/linuxbegin/win-lin-soft-en/
It is mind-boggling how much software is available for free, nada, £0, $ZERO, €0,00 nothing for Linux machines.
Now it may just be me being a miserable old sceptic but theres a nagging doubt that stops me using stuff found on Russian websites untill its been out in the wild for a good peer review.
I’d give Lindows a go if I had the time to tinker, Well Linspire as its called since the lawsuit
http://www.linspire.com/
EDIT:
I thought Linspire was cheap/free, seems a bit pricey upon reflection :eek:
Miserable old sceptic 
It’s only a table of links to the main sites, no software, honest!
Me likes FREE! :nod:
Linux is boring 
You install it, spend a little while caressing it to do what you want.
Then you have to do sweet nothing to it ever again. How boring
DT.
yeah ain’t it great! now you can go and look for free software to make you life better :nod:
No more of the Redmond blooksuckers around. No more Norton or McAfee fees. No more corrupted registries requiring a reinstall. Huge uptimes. With just a little work configuring spamassassin, the spam problem disappers.
Jeez, why did I ever bother with Windows. Oh yeah games that I don’t have time to mess with!
Boring? Gawd it’s anything but.
I can configure servers, streaming media, workstations, network proxies…
In fact there’s about 4 machines that I need to be Windoze - everything else is going Linux.
All this costs me is time and some downloading not £££££££££ -
And I learn some new tricks (at my age) -
And its fun!
I lurve Linux :nod:
