Why Linux is so great?

,----[ Quote ]
| Iâm using Linux since 2001 and it still amazes me day by day. 
| After trying Red Hat, Mandrake, Debian, SuSE and many other 
| flavors (yes, I do have a bag full of Linux distros CDs) I 
| have chosen Gentoo as my main focus. It could be any other 
| distribution, but thatâs the advantage: youâre like in a 
| clothing store and you can try anything that fits your size 
| and preferences. And, after taking it for free, you can still 
| modify the product to fit better.

| [...]
| 
| Also for reference, I work as a self-employed web developer, 
| also performing computer maintenance and network configuration 
| for clients. My first computer was a Sinclair clone (HC-91) 
| bought in 1992.
