I agree, linux is pretty good and very powerful. I'm running fedora just because I assume it's going to be closer to redhat which is one of the server OS's used at work. The only downside I've run into so far is lesser support for device drivers. For instance, haven't found a good device driver for my multi-function printer. Yeah, I can print to it pretty good under linux, but have yet to find a driver that will allow me to scan from it.

Also, unfortunately still have what seems like a bunch of lefties writing the software. Maybe that's inevitable. I was shocked to see they even put their beliefs in the documentation. Check this out:

You'll notice a few lines down:

(setq user-mail-address "[email protected]")

I emailed them and suggested they keep their political beliefs out of the code. I don't expect people to have the same beliefs as myself, but in most cases they should keep it to themselves. Similar to the sports fiasco we're going through. The players are free to have whatever beliefs they want, but the fans paid good money to watch a sporting event not a protest.
