The only short coming with Debian/Ubuntu LINUX it the lack of USA accounting software for me.

What I did was to put various versions of LINUX on old computers to try out then decided on the LINUX Distro I liked -- I have a Ubunto PC (main box) dual boot with Debian 6/Windows 7 available on a PC and a Windows 7 Netbook so if I need Windows for certain applications I have it available.

I only use Windows when I have to now.
