Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Where's Linux?

For an avowed socialist you do seem to spend an inordinate amount of time towing the Microshaft line. I guess you are from the generation brought up on labels and indoctrinated in logos ever since your mum first stuck you in front of a TV to keep you quiet.Originally Posted by Watermarx

No one is a Windows fanboy. I'm a Windows practicalist. Microsoft isn't the evil empire they once were anyway. Linux is a good and noble idea, it's just buggy and doesn't work with anything.

I use Linux Mint 9 with both Gnome and KDE 4, it is absolutely rock solid and super quick to boot up and shutdown. Even my son is impressed now that his favourite game Left4Dead 2 works using Wine.
I am fairly sure that this forum is using Linux and Apache, as indeed are the vast majority of the world's web servers. In addition, virtually every single Hollywood CGI blockbuster uses Linux desktops and servers, so you need to ask yourself what do they know that you don't? Even Boeing has started using Linux for its embedded systems. Would you really want to fly in a plane that used Microsoft systems, the BSOD is not a good thing to have when you are flying at 39,000 feet!! Can you imagine the air crew saying "Oh shit, we need a newer version of the driver, the gyroscopes have just died!!"
