Agreed, overstating the capabilities of Linux does an injustice to all the many people who give their time & effort to the many projects that make up Linux.
One other point I'd like to remind people, Linux is *not* an Operating System. Linux is a *Kernel*.
It's up to people to bundle it with whatever other components they like to create something resembling an Operating System.
Last time I checked there are at least 491 different 'ditributions' of Linux as an OS.
Innovation & creativity is very good but this level of duplication & lack of focus is a hindrance not a help IMHO...
Learn about Linux
Download Linux
Get Linux help
