25 reasons to convert to linux

I´am like most of you using windows xp as my primary operating system. I always pondered if I should make a complete change to Linux, make a dual boot system or stay with windows. Every decision would have advantages but also disadvantages.

The site bellevuelinux lists 25 reasons to convert to Linux and they are doing a good job. What they are saying is basically that its free and more secure. I agree with most of their reasons but some do not make lots of sense to me.

For example, 12) the number of distributions is not a positive factor, at least not for someone who wants to change and does not know about them. It´s hard to make a selection.

   Maybe the “Linux Distribution Chooser” http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Linux+Distribution+Chooser%22 will help a little bit?

   Interesting read. I find myself more and more convinced to install Linux on my a secondary PC… even though the few times I’ve tried a distro, I couldn’t find my way around…
