To say I'm a Linux fan is an understatement. I have been using Linux since the early days of Slackware and you got the distributions on 5.25" floppy disks. It was a pain download them at 1200 baud!
This is really an exciting time because the combination of virtualization and Linux allows you to pretty much depart from the dependence of MS operating systems.
I've been a RedHat nut for a long time. I own all their versions up through Linux 7, when I joined the Fedora project. From there I have been testing the latest and greatest version that they'll roll into their enterprise products. At the moment I'm using Fedora 9 (attached desktop).
You'll see that I'm running UO (under Wine), WoW (under Wine), ScriptUO development (under virtualized Win2003 with VMWare). All run smoothly (50-110 FPS in WoW). WoW is actually smoother run with Wine than it is running in Win2003!
Boy, I have sampled so many distributions too. At one point I've had Gentoo, Unbuntu, Slackware, SuSe, Mandriva/Mandrake running here and there.
For those that are shy about system administration of Linux, you might want to give
www.webmin.com a try. It's a great graphical web-based utility that allows you to control all aspects of your Linux box.
Anyhow, I just wanted to create this forum for any other Linux heads out there.
