    it's still a pile of ****, but it's a free non-microsoft pile of ****. and that's what people care about. i've heard linux users that really think using a windows server = automatic spyware and worms. no it doesn't, unless you're aunt ester. ANY server has to be properly secured.
    Linux and UNIX Flavours DO power majority of the world's web/file servers. Around 67% of the world's web servers are served by Apache. Linux is much more stable and secure by default. I had experience with hosting both Windows and Linux servers - and Linux wins by far. Even if you cut off the hassle with security, I still consider Linux file systems superior to Windows file systems and the resource management is much better.

    I have never had Linux crash so bad that it had to be reset.

    Is this because less people use it?

    Linux is a superior OS to Windows in architecture. It makes it more secure. I doubt stability will be affected when more people will use it.

    To get back to the questions.

    I use MEPIS currently. I like it. Nice KDE based LiveCD with a good easy to use isntaller in the LiveCD KDE environment.

    All bitching and moaning aside, does anyone recall this is a developer website? Opening your mind up to Linux and remaining open to Windows just gives you more job opportunities. Don't be afraid of either.

    I couldn't agree more. I think it's important to be universal in what you can use. I dual boot, and this gives me the option of both OS's. Windows is what I use primarly, but Linux is always there in case I want to use it.

    Note: I heard that the knoppix live cd version was great too.
