If I didn't use a Mac (with Mac OS X) for everything at home I would be using Ubuntu (a flavor of linux). As it stands, since I can't use a Mac for everything at work I use Ubuntu. I've been using it every day for work for nearly 2 years now, and I have been happy to get away from Windows. There are still some work things that are a little painful to do outside of Windows, but we have a pretty sizable ragtag Ubuntu support group that helps each other get things done. That being said, the next major version of Ubuntu, which is 8.04 Hardy Heron, is due out tomorrow. So if you want to get away from Windows and are not quite ready to buy a Mac you can take your PC hardware and install Ubuntu on it for free. To get started downloading Ubuntu you can click here.
