What are your views of Linux?

My view is that it's another version of the operating system I gladly got away from when the Amiga came out. It is just another incarnation of the Ritchie/Kernigan/Pike 'everything is a file' OS philosophy. I had been using unix before the Amiga came out, on 68K machines even, and getting paid for it; I never thought anyone would spend their own time messing with it.

Then the Amiga came out, and could do most of what the unix machines could, and was actually FUN! Unlike any unix machine I have seen then or now. I still get paid to use unix at work, because it's still not fun, and I still use Amigas at home, because it still is! :)
