Well, since you are asking...

I am a Linux user.

I have 3 Linux boxes at home (1 new Main machine, 1 old main machine
and of course 1 laptop) and is ofcourse using Linux on my machine at
work. I also plague our Linux CPU server at work with lenghty
simulations and validations.

The choice is made from many diffrent experiences. Anyhow, the more I
learn about how real operating systems ought to be working the more I
realize that Linux isn't too far away and when looking into comming
features it looks more promessing.

There are an increasing amount of Linux boxes in the world and they
say it is near the flipp-point (or maybe critical mass). There is
happening a lot in the field of Linux applications, both free and
commercial. Actually, this is where innovative development is
happening in a way that few really can grasp.

Cheers,
Magnus
