There's some hatred for Linux (and the BSD flavors) because of its supposed leftist origins and due to the socialist rants of GNU's Richard Stallman. Yet a good percentage of FReepers are on board. And Free Republic itself runs on a Linux platform with plenty of Perl doing the backend work. Both of those things make it A-OK to me.

How would I acquire Unix or Linux for my W-7 machines? Do I have to unload Windows first? What are my odds of getting thru it with my puter still operating?

You should have been here a decade or so ago. The “Linux Wars” were epic. One character in particular, named “Golden Eagle” was a delightful and charming advocate for all things Microsoft.
Those were some hilarious threads. Eventually, we compiled a “Golden Eagle Lie List” that we would just post whenever he decided to speak.
Good times.
