I just read this:

I smiled when I saw the first lines:

Still remains a nice one!  |

That is good, and very true, I have often heard that the downside to Linux is that it can be broken, but I have seen far more broken Windows boxes!

I have to say that after getting linux up i had to do something, to actually try, like change major settings or a careless kernel configuration settings to get a kernel pannic.

I rather like the paragraphs encouraging the diversity of Linux software but I think this line:
| Quote: |
But most obvious to the end user, Linux mail clients and address books are far from standardized. |
could have a spin put on it implying that FOSS developers don't care about standards. That would of course be purely fictional but people will believe anything they read. |
