NA> Anybody have any experiences to share converting from OS/2 to Linux?
Yes, but not totally. I got myself another computer for Linux, and still run 
OS/2 on the BBS machine. Earlier, I had been switching between them, and my 
points did not like that. :)
 NA> I'd like to hear how PRACTICAL and RELIABLE Linux is.
The only times it has crashed on my machine is when I had hardware problems. 
But, when I come to think about it, it didn't crash at those times either.

  As you might understand, Linux is a little more reliable than OS/2. A 
properly configured OS/2 system is just as reliable as a poorly configured 
Linux machine, or something like that.
