Well, I know you like Linux, and other people have been moving towards that platform, but I must say that this is why I'm not venturing into 'nix territory any time soon. I don't want to have to stop what I'm cooking to figure out what's making the kindling wet and to sharpen my flint before I can relight it -- I'd like to just turn on the stove and concentrate on how much garlic to add.
