Is there anyone on MemeStreams who regularly uses linux on their desktop?

i've played with a mac, an old quicksilver which i have server 10.4.9 running -- dns etc is a joy to configure
i've got a machine running suse, ubuntu server, ubuntu desktop
i like to play and experiment with stuff
but i always come back to my windows xp box, it doesn't crash, i don't need to go onto the command line or fix permissions and i can strip it down as i did on monday completely removing all the hard drives, optical drives and the mother board so i could do my biannual clean since it vacuums up all the ambient dust in my living room
i know the world hates M$
but i like things that work
i like open source i surf on firefox and run apache with mysql on my windows box as a test resource
and safari (which i've a feeling is still in beta for windows) will be available soon
i wouldn't run windows as a server but for a desktop it does exactly what it says on the tin
i know that wasn't exactly the question but having dipped my toe in different waters that is my current opinion -- not cool or techie or fashionable but frankly fuck that
