The above was used often in the early years when I was learning about Linux operating systems and using Mandrake, Red Hat and Slackware while I was trying to discover what I liked best. Some years later migrated to Debian. Came in when Sarge was testing I think. Might have heard it then also? Another was: "Linux, there is worse, but it costs more." Sorry, but there were no attributes with these, so I have no idea who coined them. If I can find the author, as you will have seen, I declare them.
