Well, given te variety of packaging formats on Linux, there is a lot of fun as well.

apt-get yum rpm�

and

aptitude, adding universes, ...

not to mention

./configure
make
make install

Well, yeah, sure it is easier. That's why the desktop marketshare is what it is.

There are 3 desks in my office: one for Mac, one for WinXP and one for Linux.
One machine on each.

Each is good for given use cases but there is no king of the block.

And they all crash in their own insane way.

Geez, how comes we aren't living with something better? Oh wait, there is an iDevice out there with an AppStore.

;-p

I will admit that one sore spot is the Gnome dust up. �Shoot me, I really like Gnome 2.x, or have at least grown comfortable with it. �KDE is a bit overdone for my tastes, so I'm probably going to land on Xubuntu. �Overall, these are small annoyances compared to all the "fun" I left behind as I departed Windows.

Could not agree more with you!

I can't understand how / why so many people/companies are using MS products,
when the company proved lot of times that really don't care about its users
and customers.
