Agreed name calling is a little low, but Linux can be secured and is used in big old nokia firewalls used by the likes of BT, admittedly they stick on a number of 3rd party/proprietry software to sure things up, but most operationg systems need that.(do you run zone alarm or similar on win 2K?)
I have run win 2000 pro as well, its nice enough, and stable(I didn't run it for too long), no real complaints except the cost.
as for good software, it is out there, it just means you have to look thurther than PC world, and if you still can not find what you want, find a software company that can produce it for you - I can almost gaurentee that if you want it someone else will to.
- note I use OpenBSD rather than Linux (but thats my current personal preference)
- those who can spell care, those who can't don't -
