| Q: The Windows XP system on my notebook computer is near collapse. I was
| about to scrub the memory clean and reinstall Windows, when someone suggested
| that now might be the time to switch to Linux. I use a lot of Windows
| programs including Photoshop. Am I setting myself up for a world of
| frustration by trying to break the ties to Windows?
|
| A: Perhaps. I'm a big Linux fan. It's faster than Windows, and free
| distributions of it such as Ubuntu (ubuntu.com) and Fedora
| (fedoraproject.org) boast Windows-like interfaces that make them a breeze to
| use.
|
| Unfortunately, a lot of mainstream Windows programs, including Photoshop and
| Microsoft Office, are not available for Linux. Fortunately, there are decent
| substitutes, including Gimp (photo-editing software from gimp.org) and
| OpenOffice (an office application suite from openoffice.org). Both are free.

| on, improve and debug more popular open-source programs such as the Internet
| browser Firefox, the OpenOffice suite of productivity software and the
| operating system Linux.

Finding Linux Systems Where They Never Were Found Before

| I regularly receive a catalog from Tiger Direct in the mail Up until very
| recently every system, desktop and laptop, in their catalog ran Windows and
| sported a Windows logo in the ad. While the majority still do a half a dozen
| laptops, all low-end netbooks, are sold with Linux preinstalled and the Tux
| logo is prominently featured in some of the ads. Linux netbooks by Sylvania,
| Asus, HP, and Acer are all prominently advertised alongside Windows systems.
| Searching for Linux on their website reveals additional models available
| preloaded with Linux.
