Wonder why those bashing linux are using it at all?

I had to try it to get an opinion, right? :-)

Yes.
I assume that it can be modified, but I ain't got the time for that. :-(

I can't wait to hear the justification for this one...

Quite simple actually,
I basically use my computer for surfing and some simple web-design. I want a small, fast OS without web-servers, advanced backup utilities (I burn everything to CD), and three zillion other utilities that I have no use for.
Not that  Windows is better, at least Linux have never crashed on me. :-)

@Acill
Probably,
So far I've only been running Mandrake and Vector linux.  I'm sure there's plenty of distros that would duit my needs better...

I still think the best OS for x86 pcs was BEOS... booted fast, no reboots, stable and VERY user friendly, without limiting the more experienced users.

Aye! That was an OS of my liking...

Media player 6.4 is, without doubt, the best version. The new ones are slow. Personally, I prefer Winamp 2.91...

About Linux being bloated:
I chose Easy-to-install versions as I don't have much experience with Linux.  Nex time I'll try with one of the more advanced distros and "Linux for dummies" in my hand... :-D
