Re: What DO you lose with Linux ???
Just my 2 cents:
I don't lose anything when using Linux as a server. I have it set up as for
web testing, and it works like a hose. In fact, I wouldn't run anything
else on a server. Period.
Unfortunately, there are web development and multimedia apps that I use that
are not ported to Linux. These apps are not replaceable by anything
available for Linux (yet). And until they are, Linux will not have all of
my hard drive. I don't want to settle for second best in my apps because
they're my bread and butter, even if that means I have to dual-boot with
Winblows. I spend more time using my apps than playing with my OS.
