Although I've been using Linux in relation with my job for years I've been sort of afraid to install it on my desktop PC at home. Why? My Windows machine was so carefully tuned and loaded with utilities that I didn't want to risk losing it.

But thanks to dual-boot and the way distributions have progressed, I installed Suse 8.1 and bingo here I am, accessing the web to write this and doing all kinds of stuff.

OpenOffice looks good, too. Maybe I'll abandon Windows bit by bit... I'll let you know.
