Cue several hours of pointless sniping
between Windows and Linux zealots.

Here's a few to get you started:

"Linux will never beat Windows on the desktop"
"Windows will never beat Linux on the desktop"

After that we'll progress into a gentle discussion
of package systems, centralized installation and
configuration and hardware support. The whole
debate will be set to a distinctive background
score of frothing, wildly innacurate claims from
both sides.

After that, as post debate entertainment, we'll
wander into totally unrelated territory by disussing the pros and cons of open or closed
source, including the definitions of open and
closed source and even a few communist or
capitalist comparisons from those members
consumed by explosive dogmatic rhetoric.

Off we go then...
