if you guys touch off a flame war, i'm unsubscribing. =)
seriously, though, i would mention that linux is a great OS
but it's one of the weirder variants of UNIX, and you should
remember that when putting "UNIX experience" on your resume.
after 8 years of UNIX systems administration experience,
i rate Linux very highly for its usability and port-to-ability.
i'm running it right now on my TP760. i do wish that X
windows wasn't so stupid in its management of color tables ...
and everything else, for that matter. but X windows is
probably the most standardized part of Linux. if i could
just get all 16 bits of color (or however many my screen really
supports) out of Linux, i'd probably turn my Windows
partition into swap ... i guess i'll just wait patiently
for the next release of XFree86.
