| We hear it all the time: computers are too hard to use and need to be easier.
| Put everything behind a shiny colorful GUI, and reduce complex tasks to a few
| simple obvious mouse clicks. At first this doesn't sound too daffy. After
| all, good tools are supposed to make our lives easier. But there is an awful
| lot of muddled thinking going on here.
|
| What most folks really want is not a better tool, but a magic wand. They buy
| Quicken and Quickbooks thinking that will give them instant magical
| accountant skills. They think PowerPoint turns them into publishers,
| Photoshop turns them into artists, and having a word processer confers great
| writing skills. They're under the delusion that paying thousands of dollars
| and cramming for a few weeks to acquire a certification means they're skilled
| IT professionals. Look how many people can't compose a decent business letter
| in an email with a proper salutation, body, and signature (or even with
| actual sentences), and who look at you like you're an annoying homeless
| person when you try to show them how to delete all the annoying bits from
| that ten-times forwarded stale joke, or use the BCC line. It's like the guy
| who collects the finest power and hand tools but has no idea what to do with
| them. He might as well stand over that shiny 800-piece Snap-on tool set and
| order it to fix his car. If it doesn't obey the first time, talk louder.

| One of the essential ingredients to running a successful business is

Be a Productive Linux User
,----[ Quote ]
| Use Terminator: Terminator is a nice way to free your valuable screen space
| from multiple terminal windows. Instead of using one terminal window for each
| task, divide an existing window horizontally or vertically each time you need
| a new terminal window. So if you find yourself using 8 terminal windows, you
| can use Terminator and pack your terminals into 2 windows.

Why Open Source contributes to productivity

| many ways.

Linux is Making Me Fat and Lazy
,----[ Quote ]
| Because of Linux I hardly have to lift a finger anymore, and because of it my
| health is suffering. I rarely hop up and down in a fit of temper, I don't
| have to drive to the store to buy software, and I don't get the aerobic
| benefits of spending hours on the phone with tech support, breathing hard and
| accelerating my heartbeat. I rarely make site visits anymore. I don't even
| leave my chair, because I log in and do fixes and admin chores from home. I
| even have my remaining tiny herd of Windows users (close relatives only who
| bribe me handsomely) set up with VNC over SSH, Cygwin/SSH, or rdesktop. I
| alone have the passwords, mwahaha.

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.
