you have to be geek to use linux for everyday webmastering needs
I tried to switch a few times, and I call myself computer-savvy. Fuck I went back to windows so fast it wasn't even funny
For a simple task like finding&installing normal GUI text editor, ftp manager with more options than just "connect" you need to spend hours to find some alternative. And did you know that skype on linux is still 2.2 ?? I don't even want to talk about the windows soft that you need to run on linux via wine or similar shit. Not worth it at all. Leave linux for servers, use windows for desktops.
I'd say, XP all the way for the old machine, Win7 for a relative new build. Linux if you have too much time on your hands
