Several days ago I wrote a rather scathing article about my utter dismay and disappoint with Mandrake 9.1 and by association, Linux as a whole. Since then I have had many many flames and equally as many agreeing emails (is there a simple opposite word for flame?) Since then I have been trying, really really trying to get my system working fully. But time and again I'm coming up against the same brick wall of (un)usability, computer esotericism and down right idiocy.

This is just one of these "there is a 100 $ bill on the street and I could pick it up and use it but, boy, is there some dirt on it or what, better leave it there" kind of opinions.
If you have more than enough money, buy something commercial. Linux is not commercial. It is free. If you get your job done with it, it's a big benefit. I myself do get all my work done with is, so savings for me!
If you do not get your work done with Linux, then invest on something more expensive, more polished and more commercial. Remember that in this case the money is away from you and you have to get it back from your customers.
