Greetings Ely, <br>
Personally, I'm a Linux geek in the making, by that I mean that I do
know a thing or two, but not nearly as much<br>
as I know with MS products, or other proprietary aspects, ( Cisco
for example ) . I'm mentioning this so you'll will not<br>
immediately disqualify me as non-objective. four years ago, I was
on your boat, and probably was on the command deck :).<br>
<br>
the best example i can give is my work laptop, which has a dual-boot
Ubuntu 11.04 and Win7Pro. And I'm reminding you that I'm Mr.<br>
objective while writing these words :) . Linux wins, by a
landslide. Much, much faster, no quirkiness to it, yes, Win7 has its
advantages, its not like Microsoft software architects are
high-school dropouts, yes ? , at this point in time, if I had to
remove any of the two, it's Win7, and I don't play around when it
comes to work , and my performance at work. I have an SSD installed
, Ubuntu boots to the login screen in 17 seconds, when you're on
site for a client with 25 phones not working, that is money, in the
greater sense of the word. <br>
<br>
just A few moths ago I removed CentOs 6 and re-installed Win7 on my
work laptop , with the thought of " well, I had good intent, but for
work purposes, Win7 is the thing to go with" , without adding much
about the Red Hat/Cent-OS soap opera, Ubuntu did it for me, big
time, just today I finished up a whole Asterisk / phones / network
install for the first time, without needing too boot up to Windows,
I have XP and Win7 Vm's on the Ubuntu, ended up not using them at
all. <br>
