In many internet forums a comment like this would start a flame war between linux and windows zelots. But most users in this forum are not into flame wars so I don't think that will happen here. I have been in technology for years and have found that every operating system has advantages and disadvantages. There is no one perfect OS. I use many different OSes. Most of the Windows users you are taking about are probably running Linux on their router and they don't even know it! For a high powered quad core machine like the original poster has I don't think the OS makes much of a difference. Linux is really useful on a lower power system like an embedded Atom box with only 1GB of RAM. In this case you can run Linux without a GUI giving it a distinct advantage over Windows. Of cource Windows has the advantage of an easy to use GUI that many people are familiar with. This is useful when resolving problems. -- agillis rip, tag, get cover artÂ… All you do is insert the CD! http://vortexbox.org agillis Lead Developer VortexBox ------------------------------------------------------------------------ agillis's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21140 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65585
