What’s about LINUX?? I think the floss community is the best in the world in the free service. It is free in every sense. We can use them, or change them and start to distribute the new ones. Any one can help in this mission . It is going to be the next generation operating system. You can try it from now on. It is at your place…. Just start a walk and you will find someone who will show you how to use the free softwares. Enjoy the world.
May the source with you

definately, it's a new revolution (slow one though), Linux is open source, which means you can edit it to your own liking. Linux is also now a market; you can start your own business and customize Linux to do what you want it to do! You already "OWN" or acquired Linux (compared to Windows software, where the term OWN means you "OWN THE RIGHTS" to use it and acquired as in you own a copy but you DO NOT HAVE direct controls).
This enormous project wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for Richard Stallman and his GNU/FSF Foundation and for Linus Tolvalds (Father of Linux) for writing the first Linux kernel in 1991 and submitted to the internet; the opensource community might not be possible. xboxrulz |

Linux is great!!! I have recently download a live CD version of UBUNTU linux, but have not had a chance to try it out yet because i have not got home yet. I hve also download half of the needed CD images for FEDORA 3 CORE, but have also not tryed it. I MUST TRY IT!!! Linux seems to be very stable due to it not being developed in CUDOS and it is mostly free or atleast has free versions, so it makes it the perfect solution for everyone, including servers and/or networking. (Take a look at Solaris 10 for that last purpose...)

Where can you download an un-altered version of linux? After you install it, can you not switch back to windows/mac?

Linux has hardware support, and it is user-friendly. Linux if extremely versatile. There are easy-to-use distributions that are user friendly, customizable, and hardware supportive. Check out: SuSE , Mandrake There are bare-boned distros such as Gentoo that allow the user to compile everything from the ground up. It is definately an adventure. My only issue with Linux is lack of support for many mainstream games and productivity programs. This is not the fault of Linux, however. There are emulators to help with this issue such as Cedega and Wine. |
