^ LOL !

Well, pro-Linux obviously, if only because it is probably the only force that might be able to save the PC industry from MS's uber-domination. Although I'm mainly working to support and deploy Microsoft products, I can only cringe at their growing "everyone-on-line" and "all-your-machines-belong-to-us" policy since XP and .NET.

This doesn't mean the Linux community is the perfect haven though. I'm not willing to go through what can/could/should be changed since this have been repeated over and over (lack of unification between the distros, accessibility, packages, lack of proper support from major hardware manufacturers, you name them...), I am also worried when I see ugly words such as "activation" blooming on RedHat's website (nothing to see w/ MS's activation just yet, but still).

As I see things, Linux is a great idea which has a grown a bit too fast. There is a strong, solid base, let's just hope the community is able to promote it further, and pulle evrything together to make it just as versatile as Windows can be.
