Fine if you want a hobby;
not ready for prime time if you use a computer as a tool.

We have racks of Linux servers. But we use Windoze on our desktops.

I first ran across Linux in 1991 and know a great deal about it. But would not use it exclusively on a desktop. Not yet.

if you use a computer as a tool.

I disagree. I have these tools running all over the place. And they work far better than windows these days for actually "doing work". They just dont have the little entertainment features like latest vid codecs and the cool apps that come out for ms stuff.

I would highly recommend people getting to know this now. Things are a changing fast.
