There's always an additional cable which is forgotten, or the installed one just doesn't work..

Yep, I've used linux for 9 years now, but still stick to windows for my workstation because of it's superior GUI (well I'm just used to it and note that even on Microsoft, I'm not using mouse much!). For example do you use F7 command, in W2k command prompt? It gives you a nice history of commands executed, you don't even have to scroll through the menu, just press the starting letter of command you want to search. Also, the history is aware of application you're running (using the window name in description bar), so when you run sqlplus you see one list of history, when you exit, you see your normal OS commands history.
Of course, I've installed cygwin to have all unix utilities like sed, awk, etc...
