Migrating from Windows to Linux v1.79
,----[ Quote ]
| There are many articles written about the reasons why users may wish to
| convert to Linux. Frequently cited reasons include the favorable licensing
| terms, the freely distributable software (with source code), support from the
| Linux community, improved security, open file formats, the fact that Linux
| can run on a wide variety of platforms, etc. However, unless a desktop user
| is provided with real alternatives to the existing software he or she
| currently uses, migration to a different operating system is going to be very
| difficult.

New Website Ushers The HeliOS Project Into 2009
,----[ Quote ]
| The HeliOS Project begins the 2009 year with a hardware drive. They hope to
| get enough hardware to carry them through the first half of the year. KUT,
| the National Public Radio affiliate in Austin is running PSA’s and calendar
| entries for the event for the next 30 days. It is through people like the
| one’s at KUT that this effort can meet the challenges of the coming year. The
| first week of January brought the group 19 requests for computers. Hopefully,
| this hardware drive will gain them the materials they need to meet the
| challenges that are sure to come.

| I've fielded 5 phone calls from them since our meeting, answering questions
| and explaining things that were not clear to them. The fact that they are
| calling me asking these questions is encouraging...they aren't rebooting into
| Windows again just because something is different than what they are used to.
| They are asking questions because they see the potential in what they are
| working with.

Tux on a Groom's Cake

| The cake designer started with a mold of Buddha for the basic body shape, and
| added a beak and webbed feet :-) Cool, huh?

Penguins on parade
,----[ Quote ]
| I don't always dress in a T-shirt and jeans. Sometimes people give me awards,
| and I dress like a penguin instead. Here's a shout-out for the computer
| history museum.

Heroes of Linux and FOSS: Ken Starks, AKA Helios
,----[ Quote ]
| This seems like a good time for a Ken Starks retrospective. This is the man
| who, despite some rather gnarly health problems churns out blog entries and
| interesting Linux projects by the truckload.
