Why people choic Linux or not the win95 ?? Personally I think the most favorable item is that if an application crashes then that one app drops in linux leaving Linux untouched. If an application craps out it leaves the whole OS completely unstable. It is only time before the Wine and DOS emu becomes refined enough so that all those applications that run under DOS and windows also run under linux.... So if your a windows or DOS die-heart and wish to have a system that is extremely stable (speaking from experience), then linux is for you. Those who argue that linux is not worth the effort due to it being too complicated are really just cop-ping out. Everything has it's learning curve. Though I'll agree it is more complicated than DOS or Windows but this is due to the fact that it offers more. The more power you have at your hands the more complicated it will be. You should realize that, what is around now, is gone within 5 years if it's related to computers unless it provides the user with expandablity and adaptability. You either keep up with it or not at all... Cheers Jason Naughton
