Almost as ironic as Microsoft "admitting" that it needs Linux to protect itself from DDoS attacks:

Smurfy runs Mandrake Linux 9.0 at home full time (unless booting to W98 for LAN gaming)
My biggest complaint about Linux - I don't want to go back to the command line, I left that behind with DOS - I like to use a GUI and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
Give you one guess what all Jupitermedia's sites (including Windows dedicated support) run on....

My biggest complaint with Linux is adding or removing software. I've looked at Lindows, but don't like the cost. It does seem to have a better software manager than other distros. I'm using SuSE 9.0 with Yast for a software manager-works so-so. I, too, don't like to use the command line any more. Linux commands are long and complicated. They seem to change from distro to distro and, for me, rarely work.

I just did a Google search for "download Knoppix", and got a bunch of hits. The "download _____",search, works in a search for just about anything I have looked for.

jmtjet had info about a switch. It looks expensive.
I bought a removable hard drive tray that goes into a 5.25" bay and only costs about $8.00 on Pricewatch, http://www.pricewatch.com , or go to their site. http://www.genica.com they work great, to change O.S. or to have a second drive to do backups on, etc. They really work great. You also can have different operators basically have their own computer by switching drives, or O.S.. With them you can also take your work home, or to a friends, or lock it in the safe at night.
Also a little program I got before, to select which O.S. it boots to, and can have up to 12 O.S. http://www.mstboot.com/en/
