The Year in Operating Systems: No battle of big ideas

,----[ Quote ]
| Think of how much easier it is to link to a wireless network in Linux today 
| than it was only a few years ago, just as an example.

The Wrong Way To Sell Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| But let us not see malice or incompetence when it's probably no more than 
| trying to make Linux more appealing to Mac and Windows users. I think it's 
| sincere but misguided. Linux and FOSS succeed on their merits, and it's the 
| differences from proprietary software that should be emphasized, rather than 
| meekly excusing them, or pretending they don't exist.

Minds Meet to Mull Linux Marketing

,----[ Quote ]
| Do you guys know anything about Linux?
|
| We just looked at each other and smiled.
|
| "Yeah, a little...what do you want to know?"
|
| Turns out the fella recently obtained a Linux Live CD and was fascinated by
| it. He could do so much with it...things that Windows wouldn't dream of
| allowing him to do. He stated that it was a huge relief not to have to worry
| about constant patches and updates and viruses. The fact that it took hours
| to install a new Windows system with all the patches was enough to make the
| learning curve acceptable.
|
| One guy in a parking lot as the sun began to set on Austin Texas...he wanted
| to know about Linux.
