[QUOTE="Menace, post: 211282, member: 774"] A great man once said that linux is free if your time has no value. To be fair, I haven't used the most up to date distributions, but I've used Ubuntu and FreeBSD (not linux kernel but similar) in the past. There's always some stupid issue like printing (yes cups) and sound card problems. Games pseudo-work through wine. Really, unless you're running some server related stuff (Apache etc.) I just don't see the point in it. Win 7 is great, so is Mac OS X. There is nothing compelling about it to me anymore. It's a great tool for learning about modern OS'es and sys administration etc. [/QUOTE]
