My First Linux Encounter or How to Switch to Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Most Windows users expect the change to be fast and smooth: they expect to
| find in Linux a similar OS with Windows in every aspect; it's a well-known
| issue.

iTunes on the Xandros Eee PC 900, Not Quite a Windows Experience
,----[ Quote ]
| I am a big fan of Xandros on the Eee PC, but I’ve always said it has its
| limitations, especially when it doesn’t give me access to my favorite Windows
| programs. But when my editor told me earlier this week about Wine HQ, I
| nearly freaked. Wine HQ enables a compatibility layer that allows Windows
| programs to run on a Linux OS.

10 things you should know about every Linux installation
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux is not Windows, and although there are some similarities, you
| must realise that there may be a few "new ways of doing things" to
| learn before you can be comfortable in Linux.

Should We Listen to Walt Mossberg?
,----[ Quote ]
| I will say, that despite my respect for Mossberg, a lot of his complaints are
| the typical, vague oft-repeated observations based on an imperfect
| understanding about what Linux is and how a Linux distribution works.

Isn't Linux just UNIX under a different name?
,----[ Quote ]
| Yet, the bottom line is Linux is not UNIX. Make no mistake. Linux was not
| derived from the original program code and it is not subject to any UNIX
| licensing arrangement (some may say constraint.) In fact, Linux is not
| legally able to call itself UNIX (and incidentally, neither is BSD anymore.)
|
| No, despite the affection long-timers in the industry might have for UNIX
| there’s no denying Linux has taken on a life of its own and is driving modern
| development faster than any proprietary team. In a twist of fate, Linux poses
| a challenge to the mighty Microsoft whose server-based operating systems led
| pundits to question the viability of UNIX just two decades ago.
|
| Linux ain’t UNIX. And in fact Linux has left UNIX behind. The UNIX name has
| become bogged down with fragmented development and legal battles making it a
| shell of its former self. Linux is the new UNIX, it alone is the embodiment
| of the elegant design and hacker spirit that UNIX originally represented.
