@roosterjm2k2 "Top it off with the "If you want an easy to use system, use Winblows" attitude shared by so many."No.. It's more like:"If you want an easy to use system, use Mac OS XIf you want something better than the abomination that is Windows, want something that is free and open, and are willing to learn a little, use Linux."If you are a complete and total asshat, use Windows."That's what I say anyhow :)

"IBM has spent hundreds of millions of dollars developing, distributing, and advertising Linux, not open source."Yeah right. That's why Apache and Eclipse exist.

"Regardless of how nice linux is maturing to be, the stigma attached to it is still the sweaty, elitest, server room geek ... it doesnt matter how well the OS works, unless the image is changed drastically."This is the main reason I think certain distributions that targets "the average PC user" such as Ubuntu does well in not being referred to as "Linux", or "Ubuntu Linux", but rather just "Ubuntu". It could earn a distribution the chance of being considered an operating system in its own right.
