I try not to get in people's faces with my GNU/Linux preaching, but I end up doing it anyway. I can barely repress my knee-jerk "Ewww, Outlook, Ewww, Veesta, Ewww, PowerPoint" reactions at work.
I run Beyond Linux from Scratch, 2.6.20.smp. I have been Windows-free since January! (Except for work, which requires the Other.)
I have found this build to be exceptionally good for my purposes -- excellent sound, several great code development applications, and a version of wine that will run all my favorite Elder Scrolls games (Oblivion included, but that required hours of fiddling to get it working, almost as much fiddling as it required to get it working on my vintage 2003 Windows system!)
And now that summer break is here, it's time for some kernel hacking fun in between marathon tech support sessions. Hooray for caffeine! Hooray for Free Software!
