...people that can’t figure out Linux..

I know the feeling. I was so annoyed at Windows95 crashing all the time I tried OS/2". Then I tried to make Linux work on a corrupted Windows98 machine I did'nt have a recovery disk for. Finally I was in the market for a new laptop so I went and bought a Dell with Linux preloaded so I knew it would work!

I found out that I did not have to go to that extreme, they now have Live CD's that boot up Linux without having to touch anything on your hard drive so you can try it without any worries.

So what are the advantages of Linux over Windows? I mean, can it do everything Windows can? Sorry don't really know much about it...
