Any Linux users in here?

I am trying to get Linux going and move to it as the
OS of choice with their Wine program and such to access
my needed Windows apps.

As it is I've managed to use a fair amount of open source
in my 'real life'. I use Pine for PC which is a mail
program developed by Washington University. Pine has been
around for Unix systems since the mid 90's or so and is free.

I used Pine when communicating to a BBS back when dino's
roamed the Earth.

As a browser, Firfox can't be beat for flexibilty and security
and that is from Mozilla which is open source as well.

All that remains for me to do is get Linux going and i will
be off the Micro$oft buss for good.

That may take some time though. I've been stumped by
something that should have "installed itself' which is my
standard US Robotics modem. There's help on the way for that...
I know the device works, but can't get Linux to see it.

I just wondered if anybody is using Linux OS in here (?)
