I'll triple it :).

I've been using GNU C under Linux for about 5 or 6 years now. Since then,
like Daniel, I do almost all of my technical work using Linux. I have
found the learning curve for Linux to be steeper, but the plateau to be
much higher. Over the years the distros have become much easier to deal
with (I haven't *had* to re-compile the kernel for a couple of years now).
