   Since I run BeOS & Linux, I can say that each has strengths and weaknesses.   
   Linux probably will never be as easy as BeOS, though its closed the gap   
   very dramatically in the last year or so.  SuSE is probably the easist   
   Linux to configure with YaST.  I like what yTab did with the prefs in   
   Zeta, but I'll hold my breath for Haiku, which I feel will have features   
   more advanced than WinXXXX or Linux.
