During the majority of my time working with computers, Windows was the operating system of choice. Reason being, it's all I've known. In 2002, I took a college course titled "Linux Administration" which entitled me to a few cd-roms of Redhat 7.x. While this course was nothing more than a few extra credits for me, I fell in love with Linux and went through the entire textbook a week into the class. It was a nice feeling to use something "different" than what I was used to.

I'm sick of this pro choice advocacy some Linux users do...
choice is BAD when choice means fragmentation.
I keep reading "Linux is about choice" well let me tell you, Linux is not about choice if it forces users to use a half baked app because all the other half baked apps are worst.
choice is about choice in interaction, choice in looks NOT choice in what app to use. There should be one and only one text editor, one web browser, one instant messenger, one media player, one app not 20.
one app, 20 mods/skins not 20 apps.
choice shoud be painless, I choose a skin, see how the author sees the world... if I like it I use it if not I try another...
choice in Linux world right now is like a normal guy trapped in a masochist world, a continuous struggle to find the app that hurts less.
