Linux desktop odyssey: don't stress, Linux is productive too
,----[ Quote ]
| I have no doubt an “enterprise” supported distribution of Linux like SLED 10
| can be just as, if not more, productive than the popular XP and Vista
| releases of Windows.

Be super-productive with Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| It might sound a bit weird but the kind of Operating System you’re probably

| responsible entity when it comes to productivity, but somewhere
| down-the-line, we can hold your operating system responsible for the same.

| Reasons why Linux may be productive

| * The power of command line..

Why Open Source contributes to productivity
,----[ Quote ]
| Open source software has become quite popular lately and I think it’s awesome
| that free software like Amarok, Open Office, GIMP and so on, are becoming so
| good that they not only rival their paid counterparts, but surpass them in
| many ways.

Kubuntu days...productive days
,----[ Quote ]
| So, what is the point? It is that, for non technical users, as I am, Kubuntu
| have reached a point where I'm able to do with linux everything I used to be
| able to do in windows, install it, make partitions, configure a network,
| install apps, share printers and directories, configure wifi devices, create
| users, etc. very easily. In fact, I can do more things now that I could in
| windows.
|
| We can improve a lot though, but it has been a confirmation of what I already
| knew (we all know). With linux I'm more productive, even in tedious actions
| like the ones I've done these days.

Switching from KDE to WinXP #2
,----[ Quote ]
| Conclusion
|
| I have looked at several features that KDE?s Konqueror has but that
| WinXP's Explorer doesn't have. I have also mentioned a few of the
| things I don't like about Explorer and often why I think Konqueror's way of
| doing it is better. You may have noticed that there is nothing positive
| about Explorer. That is true and it is not for lack of trying. The fact is,
| for me, the way I work, there is just nothing special about Explorer. I
| didn't find any feature that struck me as being especially cool or useful
| that Konqueror didn?t also have.
|
| Switching from KDE to WindowsXP at work has seriously impaired my
| productivity.

KDE Everywhere

| KDE4 will go there even some steps future with it's by-design cross-platform,
| modular and innovative architecture while KDE3 keeps on to be the perfect
| super-stable super-long-time branch for next few years where only bugfixes
| are allowed to land. What a good starting point into the age of the
| world-wide digital freedom.
