Hi
tech_cheetah Its good to hear that you realise the usefulness of OSS in everyday life.
Its a matter of developing taste, most people resist changes but it needs curiosity and patience to get through most changes. As an user working on Linux for few years now I can assure you if you have goal in sight (the result/work) to get from your Linux machine few little problems where and if they exist will not hold you back.
Welcome aboard.
