Heh, don't. I'm finishing a degree in computer science, and after spending the entire Christmas break of this year slaving over setting up Ubuntu, I finally gave up, and was back on fully-functioning XP within a couple of days. Linux is great, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who's not willing to invest an assload worth of time into it. Yes, getting a basic system up is as simple as XP, but after that it's one problem after another. "this hasn't been added yet", "this is a known bug", etc etc.

Lol, tell that to all the server admins running Linux servers.

As a desktop it's lacking though. Linux's main problem is that every linux nerd is a fanboy of some specific distro, and there's like 3435 flavours of distros out there, all half-finished. If all the Linux fans pooled together their efforts to release ONE BLINDINGLY AWESOME, bug-free, easy-to-use distro, Linux would get a lot more popular. It's too segregated, and it's killing itself because of it.

I still have faith though. I'm going to try the first version of Kubuntu that comes with KDE4 whenever it comes out.

I know, there's anti conformists here and there, but in a big corp environment, linux servers are unmanageable the way wintel machines are.

Doesn't help that all Linux software have the shittiest names ever.

ubuntu sounds like an OS for fridges.

are you serious? who gives a shit about these things. Companies don't want to pay someone to code obscure scripts that no one can maintain after a few months.
