I try!!!!,
I use RedHat 6.0 and LoopLinux.
LoopLinux is excellent for techo people who want to play because you start
with a bare Linux system (without having to re-partiation anything) and you
build on what you want. For instance it doesn't even come with a C
compiler but does have instructions on how to install one.
I have found RedHat very good as you would expect with it pretty much auto
detecting everything except my sound card (it did autodetect my network
card which was great)
Mostly I still use Win98 but am "trying" to move more an more things over
to Linux.

It might be OK to move to Linux if all you want to do is play but I'm sure
some people her write software that other people use ... and I'd also
assume you won't be able to persuade everyone who users your programs to
install Linux.
Saying that the power of Euphoria "should" allow you to write a version for
each! The best of both worlds, can't beat that!
