| I finally did it, I switched to Linux and I couldn't be happier! I decided to

| which is good for support and is regularly updated.

Compiz is the Most Important Thing to Ever Happen to Linux.

,----[ Quote ]
| If the Linux community wants to wipe Windows and Mac out of the OS business 
| all they need to do in focus all of their collective efforts on developing 
| Compiz. With the combine intelligence of hundreds of thousands of nerds we 
| could develop the most pimped out windows management system known to mankind. 
| The kids don’t want stability, they want an OS w/ rims that spin.

Fear and Loathing in Cupertino

,----[ Quote ]
| It wasn't until later, giving the same presentation at Linux World that
| I'd missed giving at the Apple show, that I realized that Apple were
| scared of the SuSE Linux desktop I was using. They didn't want 
| customers to see anything other than Apple-badged everything at
| their show. Especially if it was something better. They were
| scared of their customers even seeing a choice.
