Microsoft Vs. Linux

I came across this article on the legal victory of Novell/Linux over SCO/Microsoft, which I thought was useful background reading about the lawsuits Professor Nickerson mentioned in Wednesday's class:

This course has me seriously thinking about using Linux. Does anyone use it, and if so how disruptive is the process of switching over?

hey,

Interesting article. I don't use Linux on my PC, but my partner has a linux server that uses fedora. I think linux is good, but you really need to know what you are doing, or have a machine on which you can play around with it before you take over your personal computer.
