I just installed Linux on a "new" computer and 'bloged about it.
SuSE was a disater, Fedora core4 was not any worse than windows, possibly
better. 

But my needs are simple:

A terminal window where I can run ssh.
Playing media files including MP3s, MP4 sound and video files and 
DVDs with surround sound.
Firefox
Watching TV and video with a TV card.
Windows Solitare (runs under wine)
