i love linux, for many reasons. one, the security and dependability as a server platform is absolutely amazing. two, on the desktop the ease of installation, even to a novice user is incredible. three, as a developer it has let me come so much further than windows has. the only people i hear bitching about linux are the gamers who have nothing better to do with their time than frag :happysad:
