I have to contribute to this thread because I too am a Linux user. I've been using Linux for decades, with occasional interludes of trying to dance to the Windows(r) band. It ended badly with the release of Win 7 and I now am a Linux only shop.

For those still stuck in the Redmond camp (you may be forced there due to work requirements) I highly advise learning Linux.

Please disregard the negative comments (some are very out of date) from some of the previous posters. Do your own due diligence research and make an informed decision. It is irrelevant whether you need to say GNU/Linux or just Linux. Let us not quibble like an English teacher over names; It Is Linux Which Makes It Work.

I now use Linux Mint (XFCE and KDE desktops). It just works for me. If you are making the transition from Windows(r), you will find the XFCE desktop similar enough to be comfortable.

WRT this thread, Dink runs very well under Linux (FreeDink). It also runs quite well using 32bit hardware. Another advantage of the Linux Mint distributions.
