The last two installations I made were Novell's SLED 10 linux distribution. I love it. I'm even getting back into command line operations--and I am not a software engineer.
I will stay with linux, allow my Windows XP installations to die, and will never make the switch to hyperexpensive bloatware from the Borg in Redmond.
Thanks...
I am just getting back to Linux. I go through phases... a few years ago I started on redhat, went to fedora... then tried suse and now found Ubuntu... I never got hard core into it because I always found myself needing some program that was only available on windows. I just installed ubuntu which makes gui linux REALLY easy. I am amazed at how far linux has come... truly amazing...
For corporate stuff, Linux is gaining HUGE support. I am going to a convention/training next week and one of the BIG topics is running Linux on IBM's HUGE p-series POWER machines.
I like Linux (but I have alwsys like Unix-esque stuff).
But Wintel has its place as well. LIke everything, it is all a question of the frame of reference.
