And when the time comes to replace the O2 I have today, maybe my next machine will run Linux.

Linux is its own worst enemy: it's splintered, it has different distributions, it's too complex to run for most people.
We all love Linux, but it's also a fact that some people might not be able to migrate.
I'm interested in Linux because of the technology, and Linux wasn't started as any kind of rebellion against the 'evil Microsoft empire.'

I very seldom worry about other systems. I concentrate pretty fully on just making Linux the best I can.
