Stacey: Linux is a character based package that has some acceptance from about 5percent of all computer users. It is liked especially by blind people who hate windows Microsoft and believe that dos was the only accessible computer package. It doesn't use a lot of resources and although I have personally installed and used it I gave up on it because the reality was that if I wanted to make a living I needed to use what the rest of the world in general was. This is not a diatribe against Linux although I am sure I will be flamed however paying bills and having something to live on when I retire is more important than hating windows or Microsoft.
