Face it. Linux may never succeed as a desktop operating system and may have to "settle" for being the king of the server and embedded device markets. But is that such a bad thing? Ironically, the power of a Windows machine is on the command-line, but unless you're a system admin or network guru, that doesn't even occur to you. And absolutely, the power of Linux is in the command-line shell. Why fight the nature of what Linux is? Instead of trying to avoid shell commands, embrace them. "That's where The Linux Command Line: A Complete Introduction" comes in.

HEY - I've been using ONLY Linux for my desktop for years. I can update any time I want at no cost, I've never wasted a minute loading the OS only to find I used the wrong CD and the serial number does not work. With apps, I always get the full version and not some stripped down thing with half the features disabled. Sure I get a few bugs now and then, the last one was Firefox wouldn't shut-down correctly, causing a problem similar to the old Windows shut-down problem that went on for years, but I fixed my shut-down problem straight away by witching to Chrome. I really don't have any time for Windows, or that Apple thing. Why would I want to put up with them. I think Linux is all set to grow a bit. (And so it seems does MS... they are going / trying to introduce 'secure boot' so new PC's can only load Windows.) But for now I'm sticking to Linux because its just easier and in the long run there's less hassle.
