InfoTech: Is Linux right for you?

,----[ Quote ]
| Just the mention of the Linux operating system generates blank looks in most 
| circles. It has long been the domain of computer scientists and long-haired 
| techno-geeks. The recent decision from computer retailer Dell Inc. to start 
| offering computers with Linux preinstalled is a watershed event for Linux, 
| making it a viable replacement for Microsoft Windows XP and Vista. But are 
| you ready to switch your office to a new operating system and applications?

Mark Shuttleworth’s Ubuntu perspective

,----[ Quote ]
| Unlike many Linux distros, Ubuntu was intended to be used by civilians.
| Shuttleworth has pledged that Ubuntu will always be free.
| 
| I’m a fan of Ubuntu Linux, and think that Mark Shuttleworth is a good 
| guy. However, to many in the Linux community, the South African 
| entrepreneur is a rock star, a god. What’s more, Ubuntu Linux is seen 
| by many as the first, and only, Linux distribution that might have a 
| shot at gaining market share on the desktop. That makes it the only 
| viable open-source alternative to Windows.
