1. Comment - 5,198 Linux, Windows OS Flaws in 2005

   It comes down to using the right tool for the right job.
   The internet and email are too interactive for using Windows for my liking. But the very least that you can do is use Firefox for web browsing and Thunderbird for email. If your into playing games its hard to replace windows. The only thing that I keep it around for is my tax software and TurboCad.
   My six year old and eight year old navigate it (linux) just fine and play many a game on it. It just goes to show that it comes down to getting familiar with something a little different.
   Installing software used to the hardest thing but I rarely have difficulties anymore. Probably less than getting certain drivers to work in Windows.
   I like using SuSE and Mandriva.
   The thing that I miss the most when using Windows is copy and pasting with the middle mouse button.(I know you can remap the buttons but I use a lot of other peoples PC's.)

   All software has bugs. Why argue over who has more. Linux could have 10,396 and it wouldn't increase my risk of being attacked. The Unixes have a far better design and when set up properly are very secure. That being said, my windows machines hum along relatively secure. I keep them on the local network with very little internet contact. I surf the web on a linux box and never check my e-mail in windows. You needn't fear the unknown. Give linux an honest try and you will find things to like.
