However, I learned that it is surprisingly functional and versatile and I have used it for over 6 years now as a strong development environment, off and on as my desktop OS, and an archive server for all my backup needs. I'm not much of a multimedia guy (don't watch a lot of videos or listen to mp3s outside of iTunes) so it fits well for me.
