Linus is a bomb-thrower, and I'm sure my opinion that Linux is "complete and
utter crap" carries just as weight with him as his comments should with you.
if people seriously ask you to consider linux, ask them which one and why
that one and not the others. That should keep them out of your hair for
quite some time.

Seriously, HFS has been around an awfully long time in a lot of places to be
so crappy.
