Sorry for going off thread...
Do you think Linux is here to stay? If so which flavour?
I ask as I'm a Unix man through and through I worry re Linux long term future as I'm sure alot of it's popularity is due to it's cost - free - How long can something be free for?

Linux isn't 100% free, the mainstream final OSs cost about $100, so Linux is doign pretty well I'm guessing...especially since many servers are heading linux! (Sadly many are heading MS too...
)
I just don't know...isn't PHP linux based?
I think PHP is better than ASP (haven't seen ASP.NET though) so if PHP remains (which it will for some time) Linux will stay in business!
I've never used a linux (powered) PC though, wuts it like...from what I understand it's a more advanced (complex) OS that has similarities of the Mac OS and Windows.

It is free, 100%. Some of the pay-for distros has added enhancements on top of the core. That is what you're paying for. It's optional, and there are PLENTY of choices on distros, depending on your need/want.

Pretty well, I agree.

Nope. You can also put it on webservers running *nix flavors, OSX, and Windows.
What is PHP?

PHP has nothing to do with Linux. PHP can go bust (not likely at the moment) but it won't substantially affect Linux.

All OSes are internally complex.
. Would you be referring to the interface?
