Spcaeman Siff and his shoes: Linux can be VERY easy to run. Ubuntu is a great distro aiming for ease of use. Linux can be turned into a power house capable of taking over the world as well, if that is your intent. The point is simple, linux can and will do whatever you need it to (Power user wise) at the OS level. Even then, the methods for pimpin the OS are NOT that complicated.

It is whatever you make of it.
