Hi Jim & other Members, I must say that Linux is better than Windows. First I get Linux free of cost. Every thing can be done with command line so its accessible as well. Its security is rock solid. Linux Developers don't suck money from users pocket. Many vendors like Dell started shipping Linux. I do agree that as far as User Friendliness is concerned, Windows is much higher but for we tech savvy people, it should not be a big problem. If Ms keeps its policies as it is, there will huge merge from Windows to Linux in next five years. This is what I feel.

Hi Teddy, Sorry I have no recent experience with Linex. It is my understanding that Linex has a smaller footprint, is more stable and consequently, much faster than Windows. Would you agree that Linex is already better than Windows?

And I'll probably be one of them when Linux will be better.
