The linux debate for non enterprise use is always an interesting one. I'll just stick with the Mac vs. Windows lovely debates. I think both OS's are outstanding, we are very lucky in this era to have such great options available to us for desktop, web, and mobile.
I appreciate you supporting the site as a RVF Supporter and hope you will see this situation differently as you’ve taken my post(s) out of context. I love tech and the associated discussions.

@Jim. He's building a new campground and what he's asking for relates to this business from what I gather.
The Deer Springs RV Campground Initiative Trish and I have wanted to make a small RV Campground for a long time, but we just didn’t have the time. But lately, our interest has been renewed and I think we’re going to make a run at it. The site we have chosen is a meadow down at the bottom of...
