I’ve been seeing all these posts about Linux lately, and looking at them, I can honestly see the appeal. I’d love having so much autonomy over the OS I use, and customize it however I like, even having so many options to choose from when it comes to distros. The only thing holding me back, however, is incompatibility issues. A lot of programs I work with very often are Windows-exclusive, and alternatives supporting Linux are rare. So I guess I’m stuck with Windows, since I deem those particular programs really important.

Any advice from Linux nerds here? All constructive replies are very appreciated.

    I’ve been looking at Tiny10 and 11, have you run into any particular problems using it?

      I only use it to run productivity apps inside a VM (Adobe Reader etc), so no issues here.

      I think the most problems people have with it is running it on real hardware, since it lacks drivers and stuff.

        hmmm, good to know I may have to track down drivers for a regular install, I missed that. Thanks for the feedback!
