    Recently my windows computer gave up and died (hard drive failure, and no recovery disks). Instead of buying windows again I'm planning on switching to ubuntu.

    What are the positives and negatives of working solely from a linux environment?

    You may be able to obtain recovery media from your manufacturer. You may also, as a college student, be able to get a discount on Windows.

    Biggest negative? There is no editor for Linux. You will have to run under Wine and that will be hit and miss.
