I now run Red Hat Linux 9 and Gnome pretty much exclusively, and my WindowsXP partition is gone. Replaced by a virtual machine. I have learned that what you can't accomplish in the Gnome GUI is usually some sysadmin related task. I am forcing myself to use Bash more. I think this is a good thing, and in no way a step backwards. I can create an ISO image of a CD in one line. That's pretty amazing if you ask me. But more importantly, it's testament to underlying philosophies and concepts that are some 40 years old. While Windows struggles to become a true multiuser environment (trust me, it's struggling - I administer WTS/Citrix farms) everything is already there in Linux. Linux has a solid foundation. Windows has its foundations in 'New Technology' which by Bill Gates own admission, NT was to become "more Unix than Unix". If you ask me, Windows has its foundations in mergers, acquisitions and marketing; its underlying philosophy seems to be 'on error resume next'.
