Linux has its place, but replacing a mainstream pc isn't one of them right now for the average user. I consider myself an average user even tho I work in IT, I don't to a heck of allot with my home PC's.

VM isn't a bad idea, I would've NEVER even come close to thinking of that. I used to have Linux in a VM though.

I used to be a more than average computer user, I don't expect it to be terribly hard to get back into it. I'm not against having to relearn how to use an OS. Far as home PC's go... there's eventually going to be a lot going on in regards to a home network. A couple computers will be rigged for specific tasks rather than daily use so I'm going to need to re-learn things eventually anyway.


moon; hd switch sounds neat but unnecessary. My desktop has 3 drives in it already. A partition is more than separate enough for me but so is separate drives. I don't mean to be rude but it kinda seems that for no cost I get the same practicality that you do with your switch, instead mine is a boot menu unless it's worth it to you to make that other drive completely inaccessible when you're booted into the other one? I don't really see the advantage... (I'm sure preventing access to the other drive can be done on a software level)

For sabayon, screen resolution issues are a deal breaker for me. I surf on a 32inch LCD flat screen and my resolution is 1709x1006 (custom set, windows hates it lol).
