Whoa, easy there tiger. If you'd been using Linux since the mid-90s, you'd know how much progress toward GUI-izing the OS has been made. I don't think we're more than a couple of years away from a Lin ...

Useless as a desktop box (to me), but I bought a Shuttle bare-bones for use as a Linux server awhile back. Small, quiet, and I stashed it in a corner. Works great. ...
