(sorry to keep on with the old title, I'll do it only this time 'cause I read the thread too late...)

I reckon who use linux doesn't do it _only_ 'cause it works more smoothly or for the better capabilities or 'cause windoz may be crap or 'cause Steve Jobs wants God to shake his hand, but (hopefully) there is something more behind it...

call it ideology, modesty, rationality, belief,...

how many linux users does it take to screw in a light bulb?

3 full time people, plus the help of online pages in the internet, and lots of hours going around forums and chats. and in the end the bulb still doesn't work because it can't compile, or one of the libraries is too old/too new, or the software is allergic to the hardware, or something else that no one can explain.

that sums up my experience with linux so far. windows works for me, I do all my performances with it and never regreted it.
