First, a little background. I am a Windows user who has been using Windows since 3.1. I am not a programmer or a developer, I am a user. I process photos, use the internet, e-mail, write letters, play the ever important games and even use it to develop my comic strips. I am not computer illiterate and I use my computer with confidence and skill. Now with that said. I hate Windows.

BeOS was nice but was only a desktop single-user O.S. Linux is a server O.S. that can be used also as a desktop O.S. Complexity is natural. Try to use a Windows 2000 Server on your home PC and you will be asked for things like http server, telnet server, terminal server, etc.
But linux is fascinating because you can learn networks, Unix, C, Perl, PHP, etc by free.
