sweet...i made the jump awhile ago and have not regretted it.

people are often suprised when i send them excel, powerpoint, doc 
formatted stuff made in openoffice...they have no idea that linux and 
openoffice can do such things.

saves me $500 every couple years in s/w costs, which is great, with the 
added bonus that i no longer have the karma burden of supporting a 
certain federally convicted corporation.

i was buying a couple of copies of redhat per year, and at work we have 
10 licenses for up2date access, not sure how i/we will throw the savings 
around...seems wrong (to me anyway) to have so much great software at my 
fingertips and not give something back financially.

fedora 1 is confusing from the "how do i pay" point of view!
