well with Window's worm attacks and backdoors you can get into, that and I think Bill Gates is losing his cool. Non window programs are better to me

God I've heard this arguement way to many times. People need to stop comparing a server software to a home/office operating system.

Go start a Mac v. PC arguement if you really feel like having an arguement.


False.

This is from www.gentoo.org

Thanks to a technology called Portage, Gentoo Linux can become an ideal:

[list=1]
[*]secure server
[*]development workstation
[*]professional desktop
[*]gaming system
[*]embedded solution
[/list]

Whatever you need it to be. Because of its near-unlimited adaptability, we call Gentoo Linux a metadistribution.


Also why assuming they are dicussing home systems? What about "Windows Server"?

Linux is better.


+
Linux:
-Free
-Open Source
-Different Distrobutions
-Less resource hungry
-No viruses
-No restarting after installing everything
-Customisable

Windows:
-Universally Supported by developers
-Idiot friendly
-It came with the PC already set up!

Er... server software? I run Linux as my primary desktop operating system just fine, thank you very much. However, I don't want to get involved in a LvW debate because they ALWAYS end badly. If you want to discuss it, PM me on IRC or join #gentoo.

I must not fear . Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear . I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

i really hate windows since they have to do practically nothing to get sold since just about every comp. manufacturer uses them. They dont even have to bother to make it good. BTW, you, me and everyone here knows more about computers than Bill Gates. All he ever did was steal some stuff and put a cute cover on it.
