Freedom, Finally!
I have done it! On 25th night at 11 pm, my computer was freed (well not totally) from the feudal rule of Microsoft Windows!
I have now shifted usage almost completely to Debian Linux. I dont want to elaborate on the advantages, read Hari Shankar's blog here for a Free man's view on Open source software usage.
But I've to mention specifically that the scalability and the package concept of installing software in Linux really impressed me!
Now Warcraft 3 gaming is all that holds me back onto booting in Windows once in a while. FOSS Contributors, Here I come!..

Congrats, buddy! Honored to be the first guy to congratulate you on your achievement! Guess I'm goanna get a LOT of clicks from your link :-)
Btw, which distro did you install? Ubuntu? You should've mentioned more about the 'experience' and stuff...
Anyways, better late than never.
All hail FOSS!
(I'm writing this from Ubuntu Hardy Heron! :D )

Congrats on getting onto the Linux bandwagon! Never too late!

@ abhi
true, its never too late!
Congrats! If only you had seen my Debian t-shirt :-)
Are you on stable/testing/unstable?
I still boot into both Linux and Windows quite often (although not much at home, in a (mostly vain) attempt to look sane in front of family).
My vulnerabilities are Google Talk (often used to talk to a room-neighbor because of lethargy to reach for the phone) and freshly cracked pieces of software such as FL 8. Atleast as long as I'm in India, I have to feed my pirate side :-)
Hmm seems like a lotta people are writing about linux. Well I have Open Suse 10.3 installed on my PC for quite some time now. I dont use it very often. But now, I think I have second thoughts! :)
Good one!
You can play Warcraft in your favorite Linux too, thanks to Cedega. It is the "Commercial re-implementation of the Windows API for Linux with a focus on gaming".
