Hmmmm, linux as a desktop, let's see.
I travel for work and use airport Wifi a lot=can you say SECURITY?
When I surf at home, can you say SECURITY?

On a 1.8ghz P4 512MB of RAM Linux is a speed demon!



Shutting down the Server service and enabling windows firewall seems to get you secure enough.

Linux is more secure by obscurity, but dependency hell and just the feel of the various x desktops turn me off.

I suppose its come a long way from when I last had to use x in the fvwm days, but I still dont' feel like futzing with XF86Config and editing stuff manually by hand and restarting, and bleh.

Linux desktops are the complete opposite of Linux servers. Linux servers are hassle-free no-maintenance systems while desktops are just to time consuming ...
