John D Cook had this to say. "When people compare the stability of Linux and Windows, they may be biased a couple ways. First, Linux is more often deployed on servers and Windows more often on desktops. So they may unintentionally be comparing Linux servers to Windows desktops. Second, they may be thinking that Linux users' computers are more stable than Windows users' computers, which is probably true. Linux users typically know more about computers than Windows users. They are more able to avoid problems and more able to fix them when they occur."
See full blog post on http://www.johndcook.com/blog/2013/08/26/comparing-windows-and-linux-stabili ty/ My question is are Linux users less IT savvy? Is Linux now more "mass market" (as in unwashed luddite masses)? In my day you had to know what stuff (tcpip, network interface, port number) meant before you used Linux as opposed to windows.
