Why would I get a Linux box instead of a WinXP box for either (aside from the obvious larger HDD available on the Linux Box):
A: Home Use (for use with wireless kbd/mouse displaying on flatscreen TV for surfing the web primarily)
B: In car for CarPC (Mainly large touchscreen GPS duties)
(I've used OpenOffice and FF on a Linux box and was impressed with the speed, so I'm not opposed to it - what about compatibility with the GPS and mapping programs?)
