Linux is a terrible, terrible OS.
Because it works brilliantly, is more powerful then windows, is free, uses less memory then windows and is the most popular choice of Webserver?
Ubuntu is my main Os and I love it. I have dual boot Windows and have only been using it recently due to how reason runs in Wine. Other then that, there's no reason to even have it.

Well, for you anyway, I absolutely hated it.
What linux distribution did you use? Ubuntu looks horrible out of the box, I prefer Linux Mint. (There basically the same thing) gnomelook.org can make it look better and symp-apt-get is your best friend.
If you had to try and configure your wireless card with ndiswrapper yeah that would be a bitch
I had to do that with SUSE 9.3 back in the day when I had no idea how to use the terminal.

I have to admit at first I didn't sing it's praises, but once I got my head around it and got comfortable with it, I wouldn't look back.
Same here.
Good to see we have one member on NGU that runs Linux

Yeah I tried various flavours, firstly decided I was more of a Gnome then a KDE guy and then finally settled with Ubuntu. I've got it setup all swish and stuff with the compiz and emerald stuff, but don't really use any of it anymore, but it's still good to show of the mutliple desktops cube and stuff
I use Gnome look as well mate! Speaking of Ndiswrapper, my old Dell had to be done that way, but I managed to find some website that was dedicated to my model on ubuntu and the bloke had made a walkthough! What a legend.
I know quite a few of the commands as I setup a RedHat server on Qmail some years back, but I'm not really fresh with it.
