Dispite what the Open Source Software zelots (mostly of the GNU type) would have you believe... Linux is not for everyone.

Yes, it makes a good server.
Yes, in a number of cases it makes a good workstation.
NO, it will NOT replace Windows/Any Other OS

I run Debian "GNU/Linux" ('Testing', for those that care). I also run Windows 2000 inside Linux under VMWare. It works for most of my needs.

Video Editing on Linux? HAH, right...
CAD on Linux? A few non-free applications...

There are just some things that Linux won't be able to do for a very long time. It's a cool OS, but that doesn't mean that everyone should run it.

Please refer to the song "Every OS Sucks" by "Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie" (see mp3.com)
