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.

| Nobody in their right mind would choose Windows over GNU/Linux based on the

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.
