Hi.

I use FreeBSD for my servers (I have one Linux server as well).

I still use Windows 2000 here on my desktop.  The main reason: Quicken.  I
neeed to run Quicken for personal use.  I am, however, looking to move my
desktop over to Linux or FreeBSD at some point when Windows 2000 becomes
obsolete for my needs.  I have no plans to move to Windows XP.
