i guess i can share some experience....
- You do not need to reboot frequently.....
- While using Xwindow you get 4 Desktops whereas in windows you get only
one.
This is a function of your window manager. See how many desktops/workspaces it can support And you can run more than one X server too.
- Free Support from mailing lists.
- You get to know more about your hardware....
- Better Internet Connectivity....
- Better Hardware Detection with Redhat 7.1 (my experience)
- Better Sound Quality if the Sound Card is supported.
Add to that, a whole lot of tools that make your computer using life better. The ability to send mails using your own mail server, run your own web server, lack of viruses, a certain level of separation of user capabilities, TeX, the ability to script mundane tasks.....
