Spade Bro !

Nice to see you here !!

Linux is almost limitless in features and functionality !!

But your mentality and approach limit yourself to the unlimited world of linux.

Until you open up, you will appreciate it's openness

Change is Pain, and I am sure that you would feel uneasy at the beginning.

For sure there are problems in every software and OS, but for linux, once you understand the way, solving those problems are a lot easier then for XP/Vista by M$crosoft

You can basically get the software to do what you need to be done, for FREE ......most of the time !

You have a better and secure environment, compare to M$ that is more prone to virus attack & security problems if you are doing online transaction often.

For an easy setup, I also recommend ubuntu or PClinuxOS.

Like in your case for your Broadcom wifi card in ubuntu, what you probably need to do is to install a driver, and that it's !

Learning curve that is for sure, but open up and look forward, you will discover the beauty

I have never turn back for 5 years now ............and I truly enjoy it

Have fun !!
