Dan Martin has posted good thoughts about things you can do in Linux desktop but not on Microsoft Windows Vista / XP operating system.
He comes with a list:
=> Update every single piece of software on my system with a single action.
=> Keep my system secure without software that consumes my system resources, requires my time, and frequently nags me.
=> Keep my system secure without software that consumes my system resources, requires my time, and frequently nags me.
=> Run an entire operating system for free without pirating software, and without breaking the law.
=> Take my settings with me where ever I go.
=> Understand everything that is going on in my computer.
I do agree with author, remember open source is for life and for all smart people out there.

I totally agree with you – nice! :)
The second and third points are same. And what do you mean by the last point ‘Take my settings with me where ever I go.’? Carry your home directory everywhere?
The biggest thing for me is moving the “x” over to the left of the title bar in “Kubuntu”.
I totally agree with you in all the aspects, i especially love it for the third and fifth one. It’s simply amazing and confidence inspiring to know what is going on inside your computer & the fact that you that you can control it exactly the way you want to….
I agree
I agree too. But seems like there is more than just five reasons… I’d say something like zillion?! Hmm?
