Writer Chooses Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| About a year ago, I was introduced to Linux by a technosavvy friend at
| work. I was, to say the least, a somewhat unwilling participant in the
| journey into Linuxland. But, I was really forced into it by our friends
| at Microsoft. Here's what happened to me... it may be a familiar story.

| But, ever curious, I started scouting the Web to find out everything I
| could about Linux. I was intrigued by Linspire and actually bought it and
| installed it. But, CNR (the program download repository) bugged me.
| Everything I wanted required a paid membership. Not what I was in the mood
| for. More Web surfing. Next, I discovered Ubuntu's Web site. When I read
| the Ubuntu philosophy, I was hooked. For me, using a computer is a holistic
| thing, and Ubuntu gave me what I wanted... a free operating system AND a
| religion to go along with it. Amen, Brothers and Sisters. Praise the Lord.

CNR is now free and Open Source (as of yesterday).
