Actually...
I've been seriously thinking about going over to linux.
Do you mean to say you have, and something as simple as viewing a
nonsense video is then problematic?

I don't use Linux. I use an abortion of it called Linspire. That's why
I'm having trouble with it. It doesn't come with any type of decent
multimedia support without purchasing their add-ons, or hazarding
downloading and installing it via command line Linux.
I wanted to get away from XP just because I had a of problems with it at
home, my fault or theirs still to be determined but probably mine. I
had years of networking and Windows experience but my OS-level
experience with XP is nil. I don't have a lot of UNIX experience and
none with Linux. I "plunged headlong" into it by going with a sort of
Linux-Windows hybrid. That was my mistake.
If you feel you can handle a mainstream, full-version Linux - Red Hat,
etc. If you have programming experience it helps. I'm sure much of
Linux is GUI these day s. But there will still be times you need
command line instructions and procedures. If you know that then you
should be fine.
