Recently I have modified my computers setup, and now have a dual boot PC system running SuSE Linux 9.1 and Windows XP. I must say that Linux is great, and much nicer to work with than windows, for example I only have to click one icon to go on to the net, rather than in windows where it can take 2-5 clicks to get online! Using Kopete, the provided IM package is great as I can connect to AOL, ICQ, Jabber MSN and Yahoo! in an easy to use package, and not worry about will I be able to connect to x service - as it connects to all services fast, without any problems.
If you are a Windows user and you are fed up with bugs and crashes then Linux is for you. I would say that Linux can do what windows can - I can read MS Word documents in Linux, play my MP3's and even access all my Windows files as well. Best of all Linux is a free download, or cheap if you go buy it in a shop - I paid £24.99 for it, and it came with the operating system, a try before you install CD, loads of programs inlcluding Real Player, OpenOffice, Mozilla Firefox etc.
