you can optimize start-up and running processes as an unorthodox alternative to whipping the HD clean win a fresh XP install... |

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. |

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