People are comfortable with their favorite operating systems, whether it
be Solaris, Linux, or {Net,Free,Open}BSD. Having your favorite
operating system on every architecture makes you feel right at home on
any box.
So, Linux may not be the end-all-beat-all OS, but it's fun, it works,
and it's what we know. Solaris 8 being free is definitely nice, and it
may work our better for Sun hardware, but why not try new things?
Really, it's not a rant-fest at all, it's a Linux Users Group where
people are experimenting and having FUN with Linux! ;-)
