I keep seeing this one and also "it's not as easy to administer as
Windows".  Both of which are nonsense (imo).  Any unix has so many
inbuilt safeguards that it's *much* more forgiving of errors than
windows -- with windows any user can easily screw up the whole
machine.  And as for administration, how many people have an
unmaintained windows machine running for weeks, let alone months or
years?  The way you use windows is to run it as for as long as it
works, and then reinstall.  With that approach any OS is easy to
administer.
