...Linux most likely would be 1960s' Afghanistan: both rugged and 
majestically beautiful from a distance, affordable even for a penniless 
hippie, but if you actually use it, it's mostly a pain in the back. 
However, those people who stay long enough to discover its hidden true 
qualities immortally fall in love with it. Unfortunately, most users 
lack such endurance...
