Well, I first got a hold of Linux in '98 - RHL 5.2
Came with the Linux Pocket Book CD and I tell you, for someone who never
used Linux before it was a sinch to get the hang of the basics !
I'd say Linux/Unix is the cheapest (if not free) platform you can get
your hands on and has some of the best documentation to go with it !

With no intention of starting an OS flame thread - I really dunno how
Microsoft has been able to get away with charging so much for it's
platform, considering what else is already available !
