| Lie #1: Nothing runs on Linux.

| Answer #1: All the programs I need run on Linux. Ubuntu even has
| a ‘Add/Remove’ option in the ‘Applications’ menu. This lists hundreds of
| available programs you can download and install for Ubuntu. There is also
| something called ‘Synaptic Package Manager’, where you can install thousands
| of things. Anyways, the more people that use Linux, the more applications
| will be available to Linux users.
|
| Lie #2: Linux is for gurus.
|
| Answer #2: Ubuntu is for human beings! I’m not a guru, and I always use
| Linux.
