Sir:

	MOst of us `old-hands' who have used command-line interfaces for
years would find Linux much easier to learn than MS Windows.

	True, Most linux distributions don't -ship- with Advanced
wordprocessors like Word or Ami Pro, WordPerfect for X is available for
Linux.

	Linux itself ships with -very- advanced text formatting programs
that can do thing Word and Wordperfect can only dream about.

	WHy use Linux?  In your case, I would say don't. You're happy with
what you have, and it works for you.  That's what counts.  I use Linux,
Win95, WinNT, SunOS, IRIX, And Solaris... each for differnt jobs, because
they are suited for different jobs.

	I use Linux becaues it is an extremely good programming platform,
and the networking support is beyond belief.  I have a486 DX4-100 with 6
MB of RAM that has the rest of my network convinced it's a Windows NT
Server... It even handles the security validation for my WIn95 computers.

	Linux is one of the best operating systems I have ever seen.  It's
small, fast, and -very- capable.  HOwever, if you're happy with Windows,
don't switch.

	BTW.. why would anyone -want- to run another OS atop Linux?
YOu've got all the networking you need... Tex, LaTex, Emacs, Pine, bc, and
the other tools that ship with a standard SlackWare distribution will do
more things than a 16-bit Windows platform could do ever.

	Don't knock our OS just because we prefer navigating with our
fingers rather than our mice. :)
