  As per several suggestions I have been trying Ubuntu (Version 9.04) and it appears to be fairly stable. It was even a doddle to set it up to dual-boot with Vista! More to the point, perhaps, it was also fairly easy to uninstall. The only real problem I had was persuading Ubuntu to configure two displays! While I did get it working after a fashion it wouldn't let me set each screen resolution quite as high as I am used to - probably a driver problem. I'm not entirely sure it liked my quad-core processor either!
  
  One of the best things about it, though, is that you can actually test it out without installing it as the distro is a Live-CD; in other words you can boot into Linux from the CD and play with it that way.
  
  Right now I could not go over to Ubuntu full time as there are too many things that I couldn't do with it, at least not without taking a lot of time over it; time that I don't have at the moment. There are several software packages I use that do not have an equivelent for Linux - a specific accounting package for example.
  
  Still, I would recommend giving it a look if you have the time.
