The new faces of Linux - Feeling the Power

| She told him that she refused to go back to a buggy, insecure system that 
| enslaved her to maintenance and worry. She had been a GNU/Linux user for a 
| week and refused to "downgrade to Windows". They would indeed GIVE her a 
| laptop with the required wireless and closed software she needed to connect 
| for work. She refused to put Windows back on her computer at home. Mint Linux 
| had spoiled her. But it gets better.     
| 
| It's Fluxbox.

| When she discovered that she could have a pristine desktop and everything she 
| needed with a right click, she fell in love. No more icons to shove around 
| and out of the way, no more confusing menus...just straight computing the way 
| it was meant to be.

Gameloft Moves 1,000 Desktops to Ubuntu Linux

| “It’s been a pretty big deployment, well over 1000 desktops and it’s been a
| huge success,” crows the source. “Ubuntu does the same job [as Windows] for
| zero cash. The most painful thing about the change over was moving to
| Thunderbird from Outlook. No one has batted an eyelid about moving to Gnome.”
