I started with Bea. every beta since. Now Celena and not one issue that I could not sort out with the forum.
my acer aspire 5601 AWLMI had windows Xp on it for five minutes and it has performed flawlessly ever since Bea. I sync a palm TE2 with jpilot, hp psc1510 printer, hp photosmart M527 and no problems except the built in card reader wont automount, yet..
Thanks a bunch every-one
What are you running at home?

I have a laptop at home running XP & Cassandra - my wife prefers Cassandra
It has been stable and does everything we need, listen to the radio, music, surf the internet, etc - not intensely used but no complaints
At work I use a laptop dual booting XP and Cassandra - 99+% of the time I use Cassandra on a Windows 2000 server domain with most computers running XP - again most of the time it plays nicely on the network - very stable. I can remote into everything with VNC.
(Even Evolution does fairly well connecting to the Exchange Server - a few things I have to avoid doing - otherwise I lose the connection and need to reload Evolution)
The desktop at home is still running XP - mostly because I haven't had time to mess with it and it basically just stores things (pics, some music, etc) - and I don't use it that much - someday
FYI - I just received some new laptops for work with Vista installed - brought one home this weekend to play with - at this point I'm NOT impressed at all. Vista will go away and XP loaded for the teachers receiving. It loads slow and I couldn't get it to join the domain at work - hmmmm.
thanks again - all

My gear
On my main box (2.4GHz P4/Radeon X1600/22" LCD Widescreen) there is Cassandra, and XP for games. On my laptop (3GHz P4/GeForce Go5100) there is Cassandra, and its smooth as a baby's ass with Beryl and all. I really love that little machine as long as I don't have to lug it around.
On my secondary box (1.3Ghz Celeron/GeForce 7600) there is Ubuntu. Works like a charm. On my girlfriend's laptop (1.5 GHz Celeron/Radeon M6) there is also Ubuntu. Truth to be told I haven't bothered to get 3D accel working on her machine, she doesn't care for looks anyway, but freaks out if something doesn't work or is too complicated. So Ubuntu is really the only option.
On the server it's Xubuntu. Why not server ed.? Because I couldn't manage to get a decent WM to install on the server ed., and I need GTK for some apps.
I have used about every computing platform available between 1986 and now. IMHO the best platform at ATM are the OS-X Tiger Macs. Of Linuxes I have used most of the larger GNOME-based distros (and quite a few smaller ones) - I really prefer GNOME although it's a tad slow. I have to say that these days Ubuntu is the standard against which all other distros should be measured. Linux Mint seems to be forking away from Ubuntu ATM, and if it continues in the direction laid out by the new betas, it will require it's own repos in a couple of versions. That'll quadruple the workload on the crew, and I'm not going to rely too much on Mint until I see where this path leads.
