New guy here again:
It seems the Linux OS is very complex so far. What is the true advantage
to running this OS rather than a Windows 98 system? Believe me I hate
Bill Gates and will be happy when he folds - that is why I am switching
to Linux - but is there really an advantage at this point in the game or
should people wait another few years until the hard parts have been made
easy for the common man with GUI's and such?
Just curious,
Toby
