Back in '95 I had a computer-illiterate roommate who used my Linux 
partition for Web surfing, email etc. because it Just Worked (once I got 
it working the first time, of course). (If anyone recalls the days of 
Trumpet Winsock dialup then you know why it was better).

IMO that's still the case today; once you (or someone) gets a Linux box 
working well, it just stays working well.
