While part of me would like to say unequivocally that “Linux is the better OS”, that’s not actually what I’m saying, and the answer to “which OS is better” is going to be dependent on the answers to Who is going to use it? and What will they need to do with it?

For me, it’s “better” because it does everything I need it to do, I’m used to it and therefore can get more done, quicker — and not least of all, the “free” price tag doesn’t hurt either. ;-)

My current favorite distro has become Ubuntu Linux; it’s nice because it’s ideal for beginners or advanced users.

OK that's one strike against MS.Actually Phil, I responded to your comment about my "MS Haters" post, but I'll just ask you here: in your opinion, what makes Linux the superior OS? What advantages does it have over Windows XP or Vista? What distro (look at a n00b's mastery of the lingo) do you prefer.I am curious--and interested in--your thoughts on Linux.
