Why I use Linux -- And have never used Windows

In this discussion, David Both, Linux Geek Extraordinaire, explores why
Linux is the best operating system for him. He also looks at why,
despite having used nearly every version of Windows ever created, he's
never used Windows as the primary OS on any of his own computers.

He will look at the best Linux distributions for new users and explain
why each is a good choice.

David encourages questions and comments at any time during this session.
