When I switched from Windows to Gnu/Linux (Redhat/Fedora/Debian mostly) about 5 years ago, I found a vast developer's playground. It was like the old days of Compuserve, which was a candy aisle of freeware. Free software is still like that for me, there's lot of it to explore, and I can see the source code without significant restriction. I can *use* the source, and I can share the source ... which is something geeks love to do. The Windows world by the mid-90s was very closed (still is mostly), something that's really restrictive as a developer. -- Anonymous, in IT Garage
