Post I'm thinking of switching over to linux
Any linux users out there know what I can do to achieve this? I'm building a modern PC, so resources arent a issue. All the games I play are old, so I could play them in whine, or keep an old copy of Windows around to play them. And if I can't run them at all, I'm willing to just adbandon them and just play my console games.

These are the software packages I use on a daily basis

Free source programs:
Firefox
Pidgin

Closed source games and programs:
Wordpad
Notepad
Comodo Personal Firewall
Avast Anti Viruse
Sim City 4

I know a little bit about linux, but not much. So your help would be much appreciated. Thank-you in advance.

I hear Firefox and Chrome work well with linux. Linux has recently become more powerful and easy to use. You should easily be able to replace or reuse most of the programs you enjoy. As far as games Linux shouldn't have a problem.

In which I only have 100 days to seduce them all.
