Ah, the good old Linux/Windows debate.

You see, people just don't understand: your not comparing apples to apples!

Linux is, IMO, great for ADVANCED USERS.
Windows, its great for almost ALL USERS.

So, is a semi better than a mini-van?

A semi can haul more, it can be converted into tons of different things, (oscar myer weiner) and can do other things a mini-van could never do.

Yet, a mini-van gets better gas mileage, easier to drive, and there are allot more addons/accessories for mini-vans than there are for semi's.

You see why this discussion is so lame?

Would I give an old lady linux? NO. Would I give a server administrator linux? YES.

I win.
