The Easy Way to Switch to Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Back in May, we published a step-by-step guide to switching from Windows to
| Ubuntu Linux. A few weeks ago, in keeping with its regular release schedule,
| Ubuntu released an update to its popular and friendly Linux distribution.
| Known as Gutsy Gibbon, Ubuntu Linux 7.10 makes the install process easier and
| more streamlined than before, and adds some new features that you'll need to
| know about. So here's our updated guide to installing Ubuntu on your PC.

An obstacle for Linux desktops: Windows applications
,----[ Quote ]
| If no one listens to you, that's OK. Its not the end of the world. Take the
| code of the existing solution and either change things yourself OR work with
| someone who shares the same view as you. (There's a few million coders out
| there, I'm sure there's atleast one person who agrees with you and would like
| to help!)
|
| We simply can't rely on large corporations. They only think of money and how
| to make more of it regardless of how they treat people. They really don't
| care, as money matters more.
|
| I say forget them! Let's take the initiative and do it our way. If we start
| growing, eating into their marketshare and thus, their profits? Tough! Maybe
| they'll listen next time! (I doubt it...Money is the substance that corrupts
| most of humanity).
