Well, it's kind of like you try it out, get hooked, and can't stop preaching it to everybody. Maybe it's the feeling that you're different and special because your part of a community. Maybe it's simply just a cool OS. ummm...the cool thing about Linux is that there's so many distributions out there and it's all mostly free. There are some companies that offer gauranteed Linux products, like RedHat, Novell -- these you have to pay for. But most are free and open source -- meaning that anybody can change anything about the operating system. This way, a whole community of computer geeks all work together to produce the best possible computer experience. There's updates all the time, new stuff every month. You're not stuck with delayed and silly releases of Microsoft. But it's an OS for those who like to get their hands dirty and mess around with the computer. It's a lot of fun to me.

Though, honestly, I'd ask the MIS guy to show you what he wants to put on your computer to see if you like it first. It's got it's differences from Windows and Mac.
