I think Linux is really good, very different from Windows so there is HUGE learning curve. I have been learning SUSE linux which  IMHO is the best...


at our college.. we had madrake linux for testing on a machine which was a pentium 4 , 1.7 GHz 512MB RAM.. same specs as all client machines r in the whole campus in all 3 computer labs..

and guess linix takes 7 minutes to start and the KDE user enviroment is damn lousy.. the OS works soo slow and idiotic..the navigation is a sucker..

and windows xp on same machine takes mere 20 seconds to boot

so mind you..im sticking to MS unless any other better alternative jumps in..

ohh and linux interface is too ammature badly programmed.. many things looks like cheap graphics tagged on instead..
