[OT]Re: The End of Linux

[Jared Buck]

LOL, that guy is just talking a load of c***p.  Probably drunk wayyyy
too much vodka.  Linux is here to stay, and it being free of course,
there will always be people who won't want to buy Windoze and would be
looking for a free option.  As most Linux distros (including our
Ubuntu) are freely downloadable.  I've never had a problem with any
linux distro I've run, be it Ubuntu, Fedora Core or one of the
lesser-known distros.
