I have used a lot of Linux distributions over the past few years. I recently download Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog), it really shows how far Linux has come...I think my VM was letting off vomit as I ran 4.10 in it. Linux will have something Windows and Mac OS X never will, a community that is ready to support software and be helpful. Since it's inception Linux has had software made for it...something you will never be short of in Linux is software. I love the idea that people make software then upload it for free, they enjoyed programming it and they are giving something back to the community and I think that is very healthy.
