The author needs to learn how search engines work. You can't converse
with them like a person. "Why choose linux?" is not a smart query.
Maybe "linux benefits OR advantages". Furthermore, the question is not
why one would choose linux, but why one would choose windows.
Especially when it is so obviously inferior.
<br><br>And the last thing a newbie needs is a comparison of distros
unless that comparison clearly puts one above all others. Too much
choice is bad for most people. Take for example the windows market.
There are varying degrees of "Home" and "business". A home user might
want home, but maybe he thinks he wants something a little more.
"business" sounds professional, lets get that, but wait, does that mean
it will miss the fun things? But if he buys "home", will he miss the
professional things? Too much choice is a recepie for confusion and
frustration. That's why microsoft has "Ultimate". With a name like
that, Gladys in accounting can feel like she's "getting everything". <br><br>The problem is linux doesn't have tiers, so it has no top
tier. Until it does, sheeple won't know what they're supposed to think
they want. [sic] Until it does, I'm handing out Ubuntu discs. When
one of those doesn't boot right, they get Fedora.
