Why Linux is so great?

,----[ Quote ]
| I using Linux since 2001 and it still amazes me day by day.
| After trying Red Hat, Mandrake, Debian, SuSE and many other
| flavors (yes, I do have a bag full of Linux distros CDs) I
| have chosen Gentoo as my main focus. It could be any other
| distribution, but that the advantage: youe like in a
| clothing store and you can try anything that fits your size
| and preferences. And, after taking it for free, you can still
| modify the product to fit better.
|
| [...]
|
| Also for reference, I work as a self-employed web developer,
| also performing computer maintenance and network configuration
| for clients. My first computer was a Sinclair clone (HC-91)
| bought in 1992.
