Chris' original post did not ask specifically about the advantages and disadvantages of running OS under Linux and Windows; rather, he asked if he could be "real IT sort of person" without running Linux. If his definition of <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">"real IT sort of person" means what I think he means, then I believe the answer is: Chris, you need to understand the workings of Windows and Linux both, because in "real" IT situations you will be called upon to support both systems.<div>
