ok, linux is great for ppl who dont like viruses and dont like spending 200 bux just to use their comp, but its got a down side as most games dont support it, and its a bit of a pain in the ass to install things for old windows users. and also, since most the time ur not using the "root" user, and ur logging in as one of the ... log ins, is the easiest way to put it, its almost impossible to hack any important files. plus its 100% free, all u gotta do is download it, i dled a 3.1 gig linux SuSe 64bit, and it came with sooooo much software, i have the equivalint of ms word, powerpoint,spreadsheet, etc. and can open/save in ms formats
windows is nice because it is extremely ez to use, compatable with just about EVERY game, cept super tux, but costs 150 +, which is a pain to get that much money when u dun got a job
