[wplug-erie] What do you use Linux for?

[Just Bill]

I use it for my music/file server in my home.  It will though soon be
a MythTV backend,  while the used xbox I'm going to buy will be hacked
with Linux to be a frontend.  I would give up my XP OS if I wasn't a
gamer. (I tried the linux Cedga thing for a while, but it has a while
to go still for ease of gaming)  As things stand though, I try to use
almost all open source software i.e. Firefox, OpenOffice and the like.
