"Ah linux..the gateway drug of nerddom...fad-tastic!! I disagree...that is great if you are a student with limited resources...but who can deny the distributed networking capability of the Sun Solaris so you can run all your test simulations in developing a better x86 processor in the time it takes you to make a run for a 6-pack of Mountain Dew at 3 in the morning--just for the heck of it!"
Hey, the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics uses a heterogenous network of Sun Solaris machines, Linux, and Macs. And everything is on hourly, daily, and weekly mirror backups. You can file that away in /dev/null if you want.
I personally loved Slackware back in the day when it was all completely customizable installation. I can still remember spending hours reconfiguring my kernal for optimal performance on the benchmark programs. Anyone for a quick game of Rogue?
