I'll agree with the statement about the advances of Linux in the past 5+ years. I must admit though, I learned almost everything I know in the terminal through wrestling RedHat and Mandrake into shape. It was extremely disheartening as a kid to finally get Linux dual-booted with Windows and then take 3 days to get Broadcom to work. - This isn't quit the same thing, but it's interesting to see how the community has taken shape to a point where Linux is a viable replacement for Windows for almost everyone.
