Use Linux exclusively for an extended period of time. Probably something around 30 days.
-Try to exhaust every possible avenue, to get things to work.
-Take into account extreme measures, before recommending certain procedures to pass on.
-Be able to setup a computer in such a way as to be able to recommend the install and software package to clients. <-the supreme goal, actually as it could potentially save LOTS of money.
Pretty simple.
I'm going to start out using Ubuntu 8 then on to Fedora 9 (if I'm that ambitious, that is.) Now I don't have internet at home, so we'll see how this goes, but I think it's past time I dive into this and get as acquainted with the Linux platform as I am with Windows. I'll try to post my progress every couple of days, Starting with the install and ending with my conclusions. We shall see how it goes.

All my pestering has paid off! haha. look forward to hearing your experiences.
well, so far, i gotten ubuntu installed and went through a checklist of stuff i needed installed... what i really need to do is get this on a computer that i have ready to use (ie my current laptop) but i'm just not sure i should do that... but i may need to. frankly, this is going to be a gigantic headache (all that command line i need to learn) but if i follow through i think it will be awesome.
right now i got it on the VCR.
sweet, i didn't know they made a ubuntu vhs flavor. just kidding. man that was a good one.
