WOW perth! I've been looking for that comic ever since it was described in Neal Stephenson's In the Beginningwas the Command Line .

Myself, I have both win2k and Linux on this machine, but I fear reaching into Linux without the availability of all the IRC groups that I can pester for questions. My PCI win/lin modem worked under the 2.2 kernel, but infuriatingly refuses to work under 2.4. Argh.

Software-wise, I doubt it'd be hard to switch, since most if not all of what I use on my computer is either multiplatform (Mozilla, AbiWord), has a Linux equivalent (gimp, xmms) or provenly WINE-able.

Oh, and good luck, Cam.
