Last few days, i've been trying to switch to Linux Desktop from XP. And it has been very smooth for me. Not only that, the applications run very fast compared to XP. Check my desktop. Whatever software i need, i have everything that comes either pre-installed or can be downloaded from net for free. And i've more options to choose from.
Browser - Firefox, Konqueror
Email - Thunderbird, kEmail
Messenger - Yahoo, Skype and gAim
Audio - Real player, xmms and Amarok
Video - Mplayer(plays .wmv file too), Kaffeine
Image editing- Gimp
Office - Open office
I even have my favourite Google Earth installed. What else do you think i need :-)??? And the thing i dont need is Anti virus software :-)).. And i dont need to upgrade to Vista too :-))
P.S: I used Suse 10.1 64 Bit on HP AMD Turion 64 processor...

Sundar , Perfect decision. I am also using only linux for my desktop. I think you will like to give the fluxbox Window manager a try. It makes the linux experience even better. You need to configure your own icons and menu. The nice point in this WM is it is very light weight and has a ultimate key configuration facility.
But the problem is most of the games are available in Windows Platform only. For Chess Addicts like me.. what can we do? :-(
there are chess softwares in linux too.. http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/2510
