I was thinking about getting a copy of Linux. What are its highlights?
Bad points?

Elmer,

I have been told there are ways to remotely login to another NT machine but it is very messy and unstable at this time

I am forced to use this every day. There is an "rsh" hack available for NT which takes advantage of a security hole in the OS. It is very unstable and does not allow you to remotely kill processes, pop up windows, etc.

It is not an acceptable alternative for a real operating system.
