There are infinitely many prime numbers . They are countable . This means that taking away a finite amount of them will still be an infinite amount of prime numbers . The quantity does not decrease . <| sep |> Linux is wonderful . I ' ve been using it on and off for a couple of decades now . It does not , can not , work in my business . The compatibility just isn ' t there . and unfortunately , it doesn ' t look like it will be for a long time , if ever . There are far too many proprietary pieces of hardware in manufacturing for which the driverssoftware . in my case , wide format printers , and their RIP , CNC , etc . that are never going to run on Linux because there ' s no software to support it . Linux is awesome if it can handle what you ' re doing , but in the physical business world , manufacturing and the like , it ' s no where even close to prime time .
