Yeah, I wince every time I see those road signs. The visual of the biker endo'ing is just a little bit too accurate!

The first one's always the hardest, but I've been trying to lurk here and get a general sense of the community before joining and just barging in like a bull in a china shop. Not that I would know anything about that. And I hate typos, evil evil typos. Hey, when my post count increases will I have the powers to edit my own posts for typos?

I work mainly with commercial Un*x flavors but Linux isn't all that different. One thing I can say, having tried the "linux workstation at home" game in the past, nowadays it is a lot nicer and much more feasible to actually build and use linux at home than it was 4 years ago. Redhat and Suse make some nice package distributions. Although you can download linux for free online, for first timers I'd suggest picking up a book+CD of a distribution that will help you get through it. HTH.
