Weird, huh. Well, I worked on a TCO study at Sprint in '98 and came to the
conclusion that Free/Open Source Software could improve the quality and
lower the costs of IT to a business. After evaluating the administrative
cost of unnecessary office suite/OS upgrades, their license fees, and
downtime from their flaky performance, I thought there had to be a better
way.
So I thought I'd give this Linux thing a try....
Now I've got a perfectly functional Debian/KDE home desktop (spreadsheet,
word processor, internet, etc.), and I can't seem to crash it.
There's still a learning curve, but ease of use seems to be growing almost
exponentially (see Dustin Decker's comment on the SB Awe sound cards in
RedHat 6.1).
Anyway, that's why I use Linux.
