I must admit that the home PC was a lot easier to convert to Linux than my work PC is looking to be.
The main problem being Autocad which I use heaps and which does not support Linux. I have yet to try Wine on this, but it would not surprise me if it didn't run properly. Has anyone else had any experience with this?

I note Jools is singing the praises of VMware. At $US189 it is a little too expensive for me, and it appears to be a tool for system administrators and software developers rather than for the home hacker. Nice, though, if you can afford it.
