Wish you the best of luck with your switch, remember there is a learning curve, so don't beat yourself up if you install it and you're totally lost heh

Not used Mandriva myself, but heard good things about it.

I'm not a casual user, yet I don't have Windows installed at all on this machine. I switched in November 2005.

The real reason that so many people use Windows is because it comes pre-installed on most machines. With Dell about to sell Linux pre-installed machines, this will probably change pretty soon.
