I think that this is the first "Would you like to see . . . " poll that I have actually responded with a yes. Linux itself, being an operating system, is as complex as anything that is done here. It's also socially important, IMO, as an open source threat to the MS stranglehold on the market. I have been wanting to get into Linux for a long time, and I've already downloaded it and plan, when I get a few spare hours, to set up a triple-boot system so I can start seriously using Linux.
I know that there are Linux support forums all over the internet, but this is MY forum. My friends are here and when I have a question about anything, be it MS networking, ripping/encoding DVDs, whether certain laws or religions are detrimental to society, this is where I ask those questions.
I think a lot of people are interested in Linux, but the prospect of taking on something so daunting as abandoning the familiarity of Windows and relearning another OS from scratch, with all the thousands of minor new tasks to relearn like how to set up a printer or how to check/set IP addresses, etc., etc., is overwhelming. Everyone knows that there are Linux forums where help can be had, but the prospect of going to a brand new forum, where you don't know anybody and are a "noob" asking stupid questions, and "why can't you learn how to use the ---smurfing--- search function before asking questions that have been asked a thousand times?" can be equally daunting.
So, long story short, I think it's a good idea and I think there is enough interest, not to mention enough Linux fanatics, to keep it from becoming a stagnant board with no activity.
