LOL. I was just more pointing out that getting a limitlessly configurable software is worth paying for. (Linux, if you can stomach it, is a hacker's delight)
LOL I was making a joke. 60% of my systems at home run on linux. I also set up a linux network deployment system at work capable of imaging 1000 linux workstations in around an hour... I totally know all of the pros about linux, and believe in it entirely.
Way easier to develop quick scripts on/for Linux than it is on/for Windows... Unless you're using WMI then it's pretty easy. I was originally planning on making just a WMI script to handle pulling webcam images and uploading them to a host, but I figure the software exists to do exactly what was needed... Maybe another time.
