Why do I use Linux

| I get asked from time to time why do I use Linux. Of course, people use Linux
| for many different reasons since people’s priorities vary so much. After
| thinking about it a little, I would say these are my personal reason for
| using Linux.
|
| 1.- The Open Source Trend.

|
| 2.- Control.

Liberating iPods in Cambridge

| During the event, dubbed iRony, users were walked through the
| process of installing flexible and featureful free/open source
| software firmware -- without DRM -- onto their digital audio players.

|
| Organizers set up laptops running Ubuntu GNU/Linux, Mac OS X,
| and Windows XP at the center of the room. iPod users brought
| their players to experienced users, who would determine the
| generation of the iPod and the current partition format, and
| inquire about the user's needs. Together they would decide on
| a firmware (RockBox, iPodLinux, or both) and walk through the
| process of installation. Meanwhile, others looked on to watch
| the process and learn how it was done. RockBox was installed
| on the majority of the iPods with great success.

| Now I call it a laptop, and it technically is. It is able to run a

| As recently reported on Slashdot, Apple, in its infinite wisdom, has added a
