oh yea sorry bout this but havent you ever been using something in windows and thought ...this blows.. why did they do this? well in linux they actually give you the tools and source to change what you want/need to suit your needs, if you think about it its worth the trouble/learning curve, you could easily spend thousands of dollars trying to come up with the same software for windows. your completly cover for any thing from web server to developement env. and with kick ass guys out there like those from "id software" (doom 3 actually runs a little faster on my pc////dual boot/(some games as you know....)/////when in linux than in windows.) you can have the source to make it go, heck ive had more problems with windows than i ever did with linux. with linux it was something that "I" did not a fluctuation in the stock of ms in the middle of jan, that caused the useless dlls in my precious ram to act up makong me want to run out and buy the more stable much faster version of windows(all the while knowing that they are releasing it before testing it out on real situations, like a computer actually connected to the internet with a live person doing stupid stuff on it) sorry guys. i like linux, some may not. but if i can fix the prob on my own id like to. not wait patiently for the next hot fix to come and rescue me from my woes.
