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.
