I agree, in general. Free software does not cover /every/ bit of
proprietary functionality, though, as you note. There will always be
some function that is a "deal killer" for a sufficiently unmotivated
potential convert to Linux.

Oh, I think Zeke uses Linux. To what extent and to what purpose, who

Otherwise, positive contributions to the general knowledge around here
are sorely needed.
