(rant) why microsoft is not easy to use

[Jason Symes]

Oh yes, I'm well aware of both os's place. Did I mention before I'm
studying to be a network administrator in college? This year we work win 2k
and some xp, next year we use redhat. This is part of the reason why I
joined this list and am downloading the redhat isos, I want to get some
experience before I'm thrust into using something I'm not used to. Besides,
when I heard about speakup from a person on a different list, it caught my
attention, since I'm always looking for a better, more stable computing
experience. I understand linux has a better tcp/ip stack than windows, is
that true? Who knows, maybe I'll get better performance out of my 56k modem
and won't need to upgrade to dsl after all. And I'd imagine my sound card
won't be as fisty in linux as in windows.
