Priests and Nuns are Into Linux and Open Source
,----[ Quote ]
| Fr. Stephen is a Filipino missionary of the Sacred Heart priest, who blogs &
| podcasts about his faith and ministry, about the use of new technologies for
| evangelization, as well as his advocacy for Linux and the Open Source. To
| know more about this geek priest, you can visit his personal blog
| entitled, “Happy Faith”.
|
| When I told Fr. Stephen that I’m quite surprised and glad to know that
| there’s a Catholic priest on earth that’s been using Linux and blogging about
| open source software at the same time, his answer was, “I’m sure you would be
| more surprised to know that I am not the only priest who is into Linux. There
| are many priests as well as nuns who are using and promoting the use of Free
| and Open Source software (FOSS). It is because the ideals of FOSS (i.e.,
| sharing, cooperation, etc) are so compatible with the social teachings of the
| Catholic Church.”

| * Keeps toxic computer equipment out of landfills
| * Is a cool community effort

| We also use Ubuntu in our Monastery office. If you read the minimal
| specifications for Ubuntu Fiesty Fawn, it states you need at least a 500 MHz
| machine. We are interested in using computers that are low power, so a
| modern, general-purpose Operating System that has such modest requirements
| suits us fine, as it will run on older, less power-hungry computers.
