Irrelevant. Can you run Linux apps, unchanged, on your cell phone?

Yes. See:

For that matter the Mac OS X is *nix based

Which doesn't make it Linux, either.


Makes it a heck of a lot closer than Windows.

Good Lord! Another true believer flushed out!

This Linux software, it that for those that can't figure Windows out?

;~) Duck'n n run'n

I do keep an old XP box on the network for a couple of Windows apps -
tax software and sketchup. Since the XP box is headless, I access it
via VNC.

Everything else I need has choices of alternative apps for linux or on
my Android tablet.

No more rebooting every few days, no strange freezes, no more having to
buy new hardware (including software) at every major OS release, ...

I build my systems from barebones hardware so as to avoid the built-in
price of Windows and to get exactly the hardware I want.
