I have a laptop, a 'home server', and a desktop machine, and use
Debian on all 3. I wouldn't see any point in using different
distributions concurrently; all offer the same software, so why not just
pick the single one that has the best package management (or the one with
the most pretty GUI configuration tools, or whatever is important to
you?) I do however run Debian 'stable' on the server where reliability
and security are key, and 'unstable' on the laptop and desktop, which are
behind the firewall and need to use the latest/greatest app releases.

Quite honestly, I don't recally anything in classical physics that really

me on this (hopefully) if I err.

They just came out with a new fix for Cygwin recently, about a couple of
days ago. Cygwin keeps getting better, but it is still pretty buggy. I
remember a couple of releases ago configure scripts would hang the
session right in the middle, but that's been fixed. Even Microsoft
themselves mention some good things about Cygwin. Not like I care, but
I'm still surprised... 8-0

Thought I'd try a new newsreader tonight. Would this be easier on
Windows or Linux?
(Debian) Linux:
1) launch a shell
2) apt-get install knode
3) knode&
Windows:
1) fire up a web browser
2) navigate to the newsreader company's website
3) sort through 3 or 5 layers of hyperlinks to find the obscurely
located 'free trial version'
4) download to hard drive
5) double-click installation executable
6) exit installation program and close all other running programs
7) double-click installation executable
8) scroll down and click "I accept" to a legally binding contract you
didn't read
9) accept all defaults
10) click 'start' and navigate to the program icon, usually under
a submenu named after the company (fortunately "branding" no
longer involves a hot iron)
11) grant permission to clobber the installation of competing products,
making this the 'default application'
12) scan past the 'buy now' button and click the 'buy later' button
(it's a lie, but the only way to start the program)
13) read about all the great features in the full version you're missing
and click 'ok'
I could have gone a lot further overboard with this and maybe thrown
in a reboot; this comparison isn't an exaggeration. Commercial
software will always be a hassle because its purpose is not to serve
your needs, but those of some business.
