Well
there just seems to be so much that i use on Unbuntu that it completely fits my home needs. Anything I do at home including recording is on this notebook. I also don't do the dual setup, to me it is one or the other. My office is all windows vista or XP. My servers are Windows 2003 advance server and some are Linux . I run both flavors for my software development. For home use, I don't see how you can beat unbuntu for how easy it is to use or install new software. Perfect for my needs and I probably do much more than most home users will

just my opinion. Heck I don't care what people use as long as I am not the one that has to clean up the viruses. I have been telling my friends to go this way since it makes sense and there has been nothing that I need that I can't get or is already there in unbuntu
