How about 4 reasons why people ARE using linux? I know nothing about it, except for some of the replies above. Someone said it's faster and safer, but faster and safer at what? Can I run all my office and web programs on it? If so, then faster and safer is certainly a selling-point. But if I have to adopt all new programs, then that's not persuasive. How else could it enrich my computing experience without complicating it? Also, I've never heard anyone end a conversation with: "well if you ran linux then you could that." Are there things that can only be done in linux? Is there a "Top Ten Reasons to Give Linux a Try"?
