Why You Should Learn Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| There are many reasons to learn a new operating system such as Linux.
| If you have a desire to learn about the Internet and server
| applications, most servers are based on a Linux operating system.
| If you are a student many engineering fields have design software
| that is only available for Linux and not Windows.

| But one relatively young Linux distribution worth keeping an eye on
| is Foresight Linux, a desktop-oriented distribution that hit its
| 1.0 release milestone at the end of January.

They all work on pretty much the same packages, so improvement (e.g. buxfix)
for one distro may help all others. That's the value of Open Source and
that's the reason Linux is already ahead of Windows.
