I gave up on windows a long time ago. I did however purchase a 3-seat version of windows 7 for use on netflix. A couple of years ago I felt that it would be worth it and there was no way it would run in linux without microsoft's silverlight monstrosity. But that says more about netflix (at the time) than it does for windows.

My distro of choice is Gentoo. I still like to compile everything and there is no longer a dependency hell like it was for a few years. I really dont know why - I've tried them all and end up deleting tons of stuff I never use so I always go back to Gentoo. I started with a floppy-drive install of slackware around 1997 or so then went to red hat then gentoo.

This is the first post on du I have made since the day Obama won the White House. Thanks for listening and the topic. I lurk everyday - and I do mean everyday - but I never post. Dont know why.
Thanks for listening!
