    I started experimenting Linux in 1992. I started using it full time in 1996 and I have not needed to dual boot since 2000 or so. Although I have tried many many different distributions, I mainly used Slackware in the beginning, later I moved to RedHat and in the last couple of years used Ubuntu exclusively.

    I started on Kubuntu ...4? years ago and just got stuck there. I'm not one for updates.I do dual boot, but the Windows side is like the old dark corner in the back of the bus. You know, where the lights quit and there arn't any windows to let the sunlight in. (Oops, what an awful metaphore x{D)

    Anyhow, I rarely muck around in Windows at all. I've left Kubuntu to its fate, though at least I still use it. I don't feel like going to the effort to keep it up to date because I want to get a Mac. All I care about is that it gets me online and plays my (Gah!) "STOLEN" music!

    Started with Suse 8. Currently playing with Linux Mint, my fave. My main machines are Macs and I have an eeepc as well.

    Ditched Windows 9 years ago and never looked back!

    started with redhat 5.x and slowly got more interested in bsd flavours. i favor phk malloc() and non finiky constructors/destructors housed in my kernel internals >:D

    however i do enjoy slack and gentoo for misc. reasons :)

    Lynx is the awful smell of teenagers after gym classes. If you're over 16 then grow up :)
    I use Addiction which used to be by Faberge but now someone else... rare to find now so I get from a guy on ebay. About £2.75 per bottle.
    Used since 1995.
