“…I still found myself slogging through text-based
configuration files by hand to set options for some of the
software. Nobody has yet come up with a serious contender to the
Windows Control Panel for Linux. So, despite all the hardships, was
I ever able to use the OS as a desktop workstation, as I’d set out
to do? You bet. Absolutely.”
“Today’s Linux is a marvel, arguably the greatest collaborative
engineering project in the history of humankind. The software I’ve
been using, either GUI or otherwise, has proven itself essentially
bulletproof. …the system has never crashed, nor have I rebooted
it for any reason since I got X Windows running.”
“Linux is perhaps the most customizable, configurable,
adaptable, and flexible operating system on the market. The range
of knowledge that goes into its design is incredibly broad.”
