I started the process to move my base OS to linux last weekend. After screwing around with Fedora 10 & 11 for most of the time I am now happily running Ubuntu Hardy with VMWare Server 2.0 running a copy of Windows Server 2008 which I'm using for testing and Administration.
Pros: the goodness of a linux based OS, access to 100's if not 1000's of open source packages, The coolest Graphical Environment (compiz fusion).
Cons: it took 6 hours to get dual monitors working and it's still not perfect. Can't connect to Exchange 2007 with Evolution except through IMAP which doesn't allow me to use calendar functionality.
Overall, I'd say I was a very entrenched Windows user who is having the normal growing pains from being in a new environment.
I look forward to working a bit more on the graphics support and learning my shell commands as well as I did before.
