My experience with Linux has some moments of frustration, because it seems that 80% of packages don't work. Specifically, after I have a working distro, then 80% of the new stuff I want to add has severe bugs that make them (it?) incompatible. Also, I never found a newsgroup with gurus that could help me. All my problems were analysed, solutions were proposed, but they seldom worked. So I won't even try to see NTFS in Linux. Even much simpler things, like glpk or tux racer, don't work. End of Linux bashing - OTOH, the things that work are really great, with many possibilities for intelligent design [oops...] and learning. Right now, my hobby has been learning perl. It's frustrating, because I know so many different languages that learning a new one gives little pleasure - there's no psychological reward for learning a difficult thing :-) Maybe I should challenge myself to _teach_ perl to my kids...
