Have not been able to get one of those Rasberry's yet! Networking professor told me about them, but still am short on the cash! Agree with you, utility wise on Windows. To me at times I find the straw the breaks the camel's back with that system!!! Is the reason any work usually must be done on Linux. If I were force to use Windows full time say per work(once am employed after graduation) I think I would want the option of at least being able to install the KDE desktop on Windows. That way least some good utilities would be there to work with!!!! Sure there are decent utilities (mostly open source) that will work on Windows quite nicely and effectively, but once again have to watch at the amout you put on it! Just seems adding too much knocks it down. Linux, just load the daylights out of it. If there is a problem, guess what? It will simply refuse to load!!!!! Now to me that is the best option around!!!!! I would rather get the error message that it can not be done, instead of smooth sailing install and then crash boom, time to reload!!!!! I mostly feel unless you are doing traditional things per say Office related, playing games or surfing the net, your out of luck with that system! I mean sorry to the folks that think it is the greatest in the world, but simply nothing is! Everything has its uses and drawbacks. Once again, proper tool for the the job! To me am not a gamer least do not delve in it all day! I will play minor games here and there. Most are easily accomplished on Linux. Ones I can not play are ones my inboard card would spit and splat on Windows anyway!!!! Have no wish to do that as want to learn things!!! I do not sit there and cut those using Windows down. So I actually expect the same respect on my side!!! Is a hard one at times and get tired of hearing old hat stuff about all you do with linux is type! BS!!! Largest amount of typing I ever do is on here!!!!! Love it here and is awesome to let a little steam out! Just hope it never tips anyone off!!! Not meant to!!
