| Run thousands of great pieces of software that only run on Linux.
| Just like Windows, Linux has software that doesn't run on Windows.
| Great pieces of software like Amarok, Bluefish, Neverball, Gnumeric,

| software]". My reason for pointing it out is just to make it clear
| that this is a two-way street.
