Someone had this to say about Linux and Windows on the TLUG mailing list today which I thought was great:
“To me, the difference between Linux and Windows is like the difference between a restaurant and a party at someone’s house. If you’d prefer to hang out in the +kitchen at a party, watching, helping, tasting, interfering and generally having a good time, Linux may be for you. If, on the other hand, you like to be seated in a restaurant and have things brought in a supposedly finished state, you might want to stick with windows.”
“There’s nothing wrong with either option, as long as you know what the deal is:
You can’t expect to hang in the kitchen at a restaurant and you can’t expect to get waited on hand-and-foot at a party with friends.
It all depends on what you’re in the mood for…”
