Instead, I will respond to some of the many, many questions readers sent in. Thank you all for your feedback! You’ve raised some very good issues.

LInux Steps Up To The Desktop
If you're like me, you've considered eliminating Windows from your computer at some point. The upgrade scheme is confusing, and there's an endless stream of hacks, viruses, worms, and exploits that target Windows computers exclusively.
Linux, by comparison, appears to be more stable. It seems to require less maintenance, and there aren't any legal strings attached to it. It does, however, have a "geeks only" reputation that scares away many novices early on. Recently, Red Hat, a Linux software company, has made an effort to change that techs-only image.
