OS and Mobo, Mobo and OS

YIKES!! Drivers I forgot about those. Wish they would go the way of IRQs. Remember setting IRQ (interrupts) for printers, modems and such. Was very happy day when no longer required.

I suppose I should get another mobo that is W2000 compatible and CPU for its socket and keep around as spare. No worse than being forced to upgrade system by OS or other hardware. (I survived the change from PATA drives to SATA drives ok).

Does Linux have a user interface like Windows? I'm not at all familiar with it. Will Linux run Photoshop CS2? Do mobos have drivers for Linux?

I used to be able to keep up with this stuff but it is running away from me now. And I just want to do what I know how to do and has worked for me for years.
