Does anyone here use Linux? And if so what version?

I have a dual boot with Windows XP with Ubuntu Linux using GRUB. I love Linux but because I have a modem which doens't have any drivers for Linux most of the time I have to use Windows XP.

Iv updated to FC4 now, i was on FC3 for a few days then 4 came out!
Im messing with a few low end linux distros on an old 486 laptop i got my hands on, you'd be surprised how good some distros run on such a low end machine, But then again it is linux

Fedora 3 for me ...though thinking of going over to Solaris Unix. Tried other distros like Knoppix and SUSE but settled for FC3.

Iv messed with Mandrake and SUSE on a few machines i have here, but RH was always my favourite, i still have RH 9 here on one of the comps, good distro!

In the words of peter griffin... WOAH! woah, woah, woah... woah... woah, woah! Stop it. NEVER! Dual boot a PC, and i mean EVER! thats bad, it'll be more suseptible to crashes, and oher bad things, lol. Please be careful onwhat you do. Now, if you SLAVE Linux to anothe H/D the Dual boot, thatsa another story. THAT you can do. If you need help wiht that, let me know.
