Linux is such an excellent operating system!
I especially like having my choice of window manager.
Right now, I am running FVWM.
What do you like or dislike about Linux?

I've been on Gentoo since September last year (yes I know, software ricers who think watching GCC output makes them 31337), and I really enjoy using GNU/Linux on my home computer. Other than the restricted library of commercial games, there isn't anything I can't do with it, and the endless amount of flexibility makes it very appealing.
I also played around a bit with Ubuntu about a month ago, but while it's an excellent introductory distro for pampered Windows users who would usually be afraid of Linux, it felt like a much more rigid and limiting experience. At least with Gentoo, once you've got the core system utilities installed, you're free to emerge any package you like without first being forced into X _and_ GNOME, plus other apps I'll never use like postfix, gThumb, and XSane. The result is a much leaner, more custom-tailored installation. Then again, Windows users would shudder at the thought of beginning with a CLI, so I guess it's fair tradeoff for them.
