Linux as an operating system has:

1. Greater stability
2. Low cost of ownership
3. Greatest flexibility
4. Highest innovative potential
5. Highest security
6. Require technical resource on part of user
7. Require costlier hardware [as yet!]
8. Provide confidence to its users

Greatest hurdle to linux being low, "Expert support base" along with sabotage tactics by opponent OS [Under real threat!!!!!!!!].;

Most of its sabotage occurs at the level of OEM retailers who, in a way, discourage if not
intimidate prospective customers!

First of all, it all appears OK .........but goose smell comes as we analyse facts more closely
a kind of gang-up is being seen even in a poor devoloping country [now full fledged capitalist in spirit!!!!!!!!!!]. Linux developers must do something solid to take positive message with the help of media, beside burning midnight for selfless service of humanity. Another problem come from DRIVER incompatibility and KERNEL Lacking support at installation stages

Forgive me if i said anything that hurt anybody for any reason................totally unintentional........Enjoy Linux.......and its surprises
