It just works!!!! When they say that, they really mean it. Its just not a marketing tagline.

And man, I'm a techno-dweeb who enjoys all the knobs and dials. I use Linux all the time and its fantastic as a server OS. In all the major projects I worked in during the last five years, Linux was our default choice for the server.

But as a desktop operating system, it just blows. KDE is starting to show promise, but it still has a ways to go and I wouldn't dare release it to the people at the secretarial pool.

So I'm not really a switcher in the pure sense of the word, call me a "OS freelancer" - *Nix on the server (Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris), OS X on the desktop with an option to run Windows, if need be (especially, when I need to play the latest game )

They're tools people. Use the right tool for the right job.
