Having a non-crashing computer is not worth leaving behind every application one can buy at a Best Buy or similar store.

Spoken like someone who has OBVIOUSLY never tried it.

It comes with every application you would ever want! There's nothing more to BUY?

Just a Partial list of packages included:

I have used it and programmed on multiple Unix-based systems over the years (AIX, NeXTStep, Solaris, Unix, Linux, Silicon Graphics Unix).

I looked at your list and it speaks for itself. There's almost nothing for the consumer under Linux. But thanks for the link.

There is a greater wealth of useful programs for consumers for my old Atari ST than under Linux for the home user.

Just because programs are free doesn't mean they are worth it.

You sound like a Linux zealot. Get over it.
