At home I use a combination of Microsoft Windows XP and Mandrake (a linux distro). They are on different computers but I can control them from the same keyboard, mouse and monitor. Is actually quite good. I am able to play any game I wish in Windows and the do anything I want to do in Linux. Works quite well. I am always interested in new distributions of Linux in fact I was considering wiping mandrake and sticking on SUSE instead but changed my mind - too much effort. Today I came across a very interesting distribution of Linux. It is called Lin4Astro and has everything you could need to do webcam astronomy on in linux. I think it might be worth a try - especially since it boots of a CD and does not involve and install. If you want to take a closer look at it see: http://www.lin4astro.org/ (note the homepage is in French this can easily be changed via the top right icon). Oh this distribution is based on Knoppix which is a live linux CD and is based on debian.
