First Happy Birthday Linux, and thanks! In the 22 hours I've been using Ubuntu 6.06 (dual booting with Windows) it's worked unbelievably! I even figured out how to get my wireless working! And, as far as your Windows problems, I had the same problem with Ubuntu until I tried the server install (at the recommendation of the Ubuntu forum users), which pretty much sums up the 2 things I love about Linux: the community and the options!
