Unless you're running it headless as a server it still needs a GUI and that still needs a lot of resources. I noticed to my utter dismay the amount of disc space used by a linux install is exponentially more than I remember.

I still don't think any of them are super terrific. Every one of these Operating Systems has good and bad. That includes the Mac I type this on.

I don't love or hate any of them. They're tools that I use to accomplish a task. Some are better at some tasks than others. I try to be adaptive to accomplishing what I need to.

I do kind of wish I was just replacing another XP box so that I could re-use the license but alas I'm adding a computer to the mix.
