There are many advantages to using Linux instead of Windows, especially in a public workstation setting. I won't go into them all here.
One of the issues that could have been a showstopper is that people want to continue (at least for now) using MS Office. Thanks to CodeWeavers, it's not a problem.
We use their fine product to allow library patrons to run MS Office on some of our public workstations. It's great to know how much they contribute back to Wine and the community.
You can get close to that with supermount. At the library I administer, I use the ck patches including supermount, and it lets people stick in their USB filesystem devices without having to mount or unmount.
But the "testing" distribution is always the last to get security fixes. That's really the big advantage of stable: Quick, backported security fixes. Won't get that with Sarge until the release.
In/etc/sshd.conf, you can tell SSH which authentication methods to use, and in what order. Simply remove password from the list, and no more password authentication!
But this plan isn't based on exceptions. It's not that necessities aren't taxed, per se. It's just that nobody pays tax on the first (pick a number) $20,000 they spend in a year.
Technically they don't even have to spend it. Everybody just gets a check for (pick another number) 30% of $20,000.
No exceptions; the same rules apply to everybody and to all new products.
The current plan for a national retail sales tax calls for everyone, everyone, to receive a "pre-bate" for necessities. It's tied to the poverty line.
So nobody pays tax on necessities. From there, the more you buy, the more you pay. It's progressive without having to treat people differently under the law.
Even if gravity were zero, the universe would then expand at a constant rate. But it appears to be accelerating, implying some kind of negative gravity.
Isn't this a problem that Open Source / Standards actually solves? If we push for open codecs, then ANY "marginalized" system can play it, whether it's Open Source itself or not.

Kudos to them!
If the manufacturer can budget less money for maintenance, he can budget more for features or lower the price of the laptop.
Actually, IE does the wrong thing with it. It just so happens that two wrongs make a "right" for that particular combination of client and server.

Finish Sarge!

Linux anti-virus is run on mail/file servers to protect vulnerable Windows boxes from other vulnerable Windows boxes.
Random anti-Linux gibberish; nothing to do with this (or any, really) topic.
Well played, sir. I don't golf much myself; I usually shoot more for readability. But I can respect the skillz!

They're not going to change kernel versions for a maintenance release!
This is the first post that gives us the correct version!

They're talking about visits to the Firefox site, nothing to do (directly) with browser market share.
What do they have to do with the Web? How does a third party measure your Web statistics, and why would you want/need them to?
This is news for nerds. If we don't keep up with the MIT / Cal Tech rivalry, who will??
More like to match the HTML they are not conforming to.

You don't believe in freedom.
