Linux has only gotten better since 2006. With Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and to lesser extent Debian everythng now seems to work right out of the box. I haven’t had to fool with config scripts or look for third party libraries in a Loooong time. (The only recent exception was trying to get Skype or Eaglecad running from the download sites. In those cases the issue was trying to run a 32 bit app on a 64 bit version of the OS. Eagle has since fixed the issue on their end, M$ now owns Skype so who knows?)
