Linux

Is Linux a real alternative to WinXP or other Windows versions for the home and/or small business user?

A friend suggested I might want to look at it but he was unable to tell me whether it could really take the place of Microsoft's products. I guess I need to hear from someone that is indeed running it.

Has anyone got the experience and time to tell me if it really is an alternative, and whether one would need something like a degree in computing science to install and set it up? I would also be interested to know if it could run programs such as MS Office and Adobe Acrobat etc, etc.
