A lot of quite sensible commentary.  This is just to note that to this
Linux user it is quite clear that the choice I made is not always the
right choice for others.  People spending most of their time doing, for
example, graphical publishing with one to a few apps they know well and
which will satisfy their needs are wasting their time with a stronger
OS, even one which will still run their apps.  There has to be a good
reason to make a switch, something beyond the herd instinct or hype.
