Well apart from two specific tasks I need to perform I am now no longer using Windows at home at all. I've always run a dual system with Linux but recently I made the choice to fully switch to Linux and pretty much stop using Windows at all. I still need one Win box to run my Broad-Band which is ironic because that's the exact point on my home network that I want to GET RID OF WINDOWS because it's the point of entry to the network from the Web. Of course I'm not so stupid to use XP on that box so I'm not that worried. I've always done all my web dev on my Linux box using a Linux, Apache, Mysql & PHP (LAMP) install to do it. However that's not the only thing I use any of those three installs for. Mysql is handy for pretty much all database stuff I do away from web dev, it stores a huge table of my mp3 tunes which also have a reference where to find them on the network (I have storage boxes) it also runs the tables for my bot that I use on IRC when I chat. My own web applications like my RSS reader, link stores and I store all my various logs of stuff including a personal journal. Everyone thinks web servers when you mention Mysql but it's way more flexible than that. I use Bash as my Shell and use bash scripts, Perl and PHP to perform crappy tasks that you need to do at various times on a Linux box. My Bluetooth just worked when I plugged it in to my Linux where with Windows I had to mess about getting XP to accept that the drivers were not signed. That's the difference with Linux; YOU are in charge not the OS. I really got tired with the way that M$ were dumbing things down because they felt they needed to. Yeah sure M$, the unwashed masses shouldn't be driving your developments the power users should be.
