I've always wanted to try Linux, but two factors have prevented me.
1. The time required to learn a new os.
2. The bother to install it
3. By the time I manage to download any of the prepackaged distros (dont really wanna roll my own yet) on my 56k, I'm sure it'll be horribly out of date.

The main reason is #3. I know I could buy it, but have better uses for the money. I do use lots of open source sw, and I believe it is probably the future of desktop computing. I wish I had known about Linux back in the windows 95 days, but I'm pretty satisfied with Windows 2000. I havent had to do a reinstall since I last upgraded my hard drive (around a year now) and I can't say I've experienced a single crash that wasn't my fault (using beta/unstable third party sw). Windows isn't the nightmare it used to be, of course using quality components in your computer (with corresponding quality drivers) makes all the difference with Windows. So in summary: I don't use linux because Windows doesn't create enough problems for me to make the effort downloading it worthwhile.
