Why are so many Linux user so interested in how popular Linux is with
the mainstream public. Screw the ignorant masses. If they want a
seamingly (until you have to do something other than write memos)
idiot-proof OS, let them use MS.
I use Linux because it is powerful and stable and free. That is why
Linux is so popular amongst programmers. If Linux wasn't around we
would have to use an expensive Unix flavor like Solaris.
