Any Linux Users Here?

..nope, I don't even know what it is, (..we are a wee tad primitive and behind the times here..) but if it will let me capture a WiFi signal, and feed an otherwise LAN-fed VoIP hard phone, then I am all for it, and I will put my tech guys on it.. (..Does it have a way for me to input WiFi logon credentials and password?) Thanks.

I'm curious about your progress and decision?

I've used Linux since 2004, when I took a SuSE 7.3 (it was dated even then) cd from the server room when the place I was working at moved to a new office and have loved Linux ever since. It was actually partially because of learning Linux that after the company went tits up, I decided to go back to college for computer programming. After distro-hopping a few times, I decided I liked Slackware and distros related to it. As I type this, I'm using Salix 14.0, which is closely tied to Slackware.

I actually prefer the *BSD's because the license is not as communist and because the whole base system (kernel, shell and all the most basic stuff to boot and run a bare-bones system) is coded by the same people as a whole project. Linux by itself is nothing but a kernel, the shell and everything else is coded by completely different groups and slapped together by the distribution. Unfortunately there is less variety in the *BSD's, so it's hard to find anything that works exactly as I like, and the one time I got one to work with everything on a laptop, it required a bit more work than I like to do for a computer. I'm much happier with Linux than anything Microsoft has to offer, given what I have heard about that company's black scholarships and Gates's charities.

I love FreeBSD and think it's a great operating system, but GNU/Linux will always be superior because they are not cut off from the outside world (so-to-speak) and thus get more developers and corporate support and funding. Also, as you may or may not know, *BSD people can be really pompous and pretty cruel sometimes. The *BSD crowd tends to be unforgiving towards newbies or anyone they deem less than a guru.

Yes, with AppArmor and other features, it is highly unlikely you will get a virus. Also you don't need to run defrags on Ubuntu or mess with the firewall much (if at all).
