Do you guys use your linux box for general desktop usage or only EDA? I ask because I have tried many times to make the switch to linux for general desktop usage but can't get over the inconvenience of it. I have a linux box specifically for EDA (gschem, pcb, spice simulations, etc), so I couldn't care less what the WM is. It could be motif for all I care.
I use UNIX derivatives exclusively for both desktop and server duty; Solaris, MacOS X, and Linux. I never made the switch TO Windows, because when I put it side-by-side with my UNIX workstation (a DECstation running Ultrix) it was just terrible, and it never seemed to get any better. I can easily say that "I could never get over the inconvenience of it". ;)
I certainly won't actually *depend* on Windows for anything, though I tend to enjoy it when people who do, and then pay me to clean up the resulting mess! ;)
