well, what if the person is a gamer as well as being a computer science student, or a web develloper, or any sort of a programmer?
It's arguable that they should have a dual-boot machine, one OS for development work, and one for gaming.
No, Really. Bite me.

Exactly the type of people who wouldn't need to ask whether they should install Linux or not.
Beside that, just about every software package of importance that runs on Linux also runs on Windows, with the added benefit that gaming isn't a hit-or-miss situation with whether that shiny new game you just bought will work at all.
Yes, if he has to ask, he probably doesn't want it. But I'm trying to say that there's more good than bad [ 02-03-2003: Message edited by: Tier ]

Some people would prefer sacrificing a few games and config edits for linux, whatever their reasons... Who cares?
Well considering that it's what the thread is about, if you don't care you're kinda in the wrong place.

I plan on throwing Linux on my current comp when my new one gets finished, not for games, not for software development or anything either. But because its the the right thing to do as a geek.
i was driving behind a guy on my way home from work the other day, he had a custom license playe that read "2 B PHD" and a debian bumber sticker.
He must have been pummeled a lot in high school.
No, Really. Bite me.

Yeah.
I think it's one of those Linux releases. There's only a new name for every release by every geek who recompiles their kernel to run 0.0002% faster.
It's not something people hear about.

I'm soon going to have A linux box, that's going to run as my server till I get a web server (cisco made) from a friend. Bit older but runs fine, it's circa 1999.
Linux is good for IMO:
Programing
Servers, all types.
stability
Windows pre 2k:
games
workstations
Win post 2k
Stable to a month or 2
games
expandability with apps.
