alas...some are destined for greatness and some are relegated to using
windows all their lives. Don't give up so easily. Windows might be easier,
but Linux, once it's configured and running it's lightyears more stable
and fun once you get to know it. It's also much safer than Windows. And as
an added bonus for signing up with Penguins Army you're already eligable
for the "Linux is immune to Windows virii of any kind" bvonus prize.
Any way you slice it Linux has it all if you're willing to follow the
learning curve going straight up until it levels off some.
