You're right I was wrong in how I expressed myself in my last post. Please forgive the troll-like nature of my words and let me simply say this: There are many tools out there and many jobs. I have a leatherman tool that has a knife, plyers, screwdrivers etc. I would not use it as a hammer nor would I use it were I in need of a tool to screw in 100 #3 philips screws. Linux has it's place and does quite well at many things. It is not, however, the tool for all jobs. I will not pretend that Linux is perfect or better than any other tool in my toolbox. It is a tool and it is very useful to me. Currently, it is a ball-ache to force Fedora Core 4 to use SATA drives properly. Fedora Core 5 is just on the horizon and I am hopeful.
