    Default Switching from Windows to Linux

    For all of you tech savvy folks. Am I nuts for considering this? I am seriously entertaining the idea of saying buh-bye to windoze and swithching to Ubuntu (linux)

    My only big hang up is that I have a couple of websites that I maintain that use Frontpage file extensions. I'm not sure if it would be possible to use frontpage with WINE and Ubuntu.

    Any thoughts, input?
    It is what it is.

    Not sure if you can use FP, but if that's your only issue, you should definitely go with Linux! Fast, simple, and free!

    Using FP is a rather large issue if I have to maintain websites, since I only have 1 computer.

    Does anyone else have any input?

    SOOS, I could kiss you!! I have searched high and low to see if I could still use FP extensions.

    You're awesome. I'll have to look into linux more now. I'm really into it lately. Windoze is just killing me and my computer is now on it's last leg. Processor is just too old, memory is maxed out with no more slots. Time to go.
    It is what it is.
