Well the debate I spoke of, it did get a little frayed around the edges, but that is exactly wny I dropped out of it. All my posts concerned why I liked Linux versus Windows, and even pointed out why I liked Windows over Linux. From there, it seemed to be die hard vs die hard... I just hope this thread can stay to the point without bashing. Good of you Mak to set the tone, though, and that is to stay on topic...so I digress:
I like that Linux has come a long way, but has a lot to be desired in usability for newbs. Ubuntu is good for new Linux users, but even the mention of Ubuntu sparks debate. So my suggestion is to try a few distros out and see what it is YOU like or not like about Linux as you will certainly get a number of varying accounts from others - in the end, it is you that should see what you like (or not like) about Linux.
