[QUOTE="RandyDSok, post: 180503, member: 201"] What you can do in Linux doesn't always apply to Windows. Not to mention that while it has gone a long ways towards it, it still isn't ready for the prime time public use. It's biggest strength is also it's biggest weakness... the proliferation of so many different distro's leads to the software devs asking themselves "what distro or distos do they want to support?". Not to mention the old school linux devs not providing a proper GUI level tools to use as an alternate to their command line ones they love so much. I use command line utils in Windows all of the time but I also recognize the advantage of giving the general public a GUI method to do the same even when it may not be as efficient. I'm always sampling the top Linux distro's trying to find something that I can recommend to my own clients that are not tech savvy so they are not forced to go with Windows... or Mac if that is also one of their interests. So far none have made the mark yet but I'll retest them again in about a year to see what advances they've made since my previous testing. We have to find a replacement for both OS because neither Microsoft nor Apple are going to give the public what they really want. A secure OS that doesn't force someone else's self motivated goals upon them. [/QUOTE]
