My reasons for preferring Linux over MS-Windows work for me,
not necessarily for anybody else.
My points for preferring Linux over MS-Windows:
o I want full control over the programs in my cybernetic parts.
If they don't do what I want, I can rewrite them to do what I want.
I find reprogramming much easier having the source code available. 6-]
o I have a limited amount of money.
Since I don't have to pay for the software, I can use that money to
upgrade my hardware instead.
o Most of the MIT cyborgs use Linux, so I can re-use their software.
As you might appreciate, my reasons for preferring Linux need not be yours.
And vice versa.
