Well said, Amir. I tend to agree that we need a Linux distro thats slick enough to take on Windows, maybe even Mac OS, so that a significant number of web devs may be more comfortable in a Linux environment. I personally would love to do all my web dev on Linux, but until theres a Photoshop equivalent for example, i have to switch between OSes.
