Linux Vs Windows? Well depends on who you are asking. Lets talk about a Car, it depends on if you ask a traveler or a mechanic. Windows is ready out of the box so good for a traveler. Just start the car and drive. Linux is good for mechanic, he will tell you what engine can do, what the horse power its got and all that. Well the last time I ran into Linux was Redhat 10 and black screen was what I can recall. I could run all ther servers I required, program a few 'shells' and all that. After that its been Windows for me for bout 6 years. I have never come across linux in my life. Lets say I would rather travel places rather than know what the car has. Of cours I always have to compromise a few things but hey seeing places is my priority, car I can always switch. I dont care for how long the car runs, its where I can take it. To all the Lixux 'Wiz kids' good luck on all your ventures in knowing your car, mechanics this traveller wishes you all the best.
