Right I've given Linux a try on my system in the past (Mandrake 9.2) and well it wasn't my cup of tea. Don't get me wrong the installation was a piece of p#ss. Everything worked including the internet straight. The thing that put me right off was most of my apps don't come in Linux format and I love to play a good game now and again.

So what I'm getting at or trying to find out is why do people use Linux at home. Again I'm not being funny here I really would like to hear your side. If you were a salesmen and had to talk a windows user around to Linux what would your sale's pitch be ?
