2000 was still an infant period for Linux. I was playing around with Redhat and Suse. I did not like what it was doing, so stuck with Windows. Tried Linux again in 2004, figuring that I would be able to use it on the Compaq Laptop I had, still had problems.
The last 4 years have been great in how fast they were able to get rid of all of the headaches that were in the past.
I have BSD and Cent-OS on DVD, if I want to play around with it.
It is amazing that in 15 years, how much the gear and Linux has changed, to now become easier for those who want to set up servers or desktop systems.
As a WISP or ISP. You have to use Linux to handle everything. No way around it. It probably would not be that hard to code a distro for your customers that are older and just want to log on to check email, web browsing or if they are on Facebook, check in.
My wife actually used her laptop with Linux Mint 17.2 on it last night.
Today she is having issues at work, that her laptop is losing the Proxy. The outside company keeps screwing around with the Domain all of the time.
Told her that is why I do not make thr big bucks, even though I know where to look and what may be corrupting her profile on the AD server.
