Life is about choice, computing should be too.
,----[ Quote ]
| Having a choice of Linux distributions to choose from is a good thing. It
| means that people have a chance to find a distribution which best suits their
| wanted computing experience. Having only a single operating system to choose
| from means that everybody is forced into that systems framework. Not unlike
| the ancient times when all ladies were forced into a constricting corset.

Open source mainframe software: Two perspectives
,----[ Quote ]
| IBM sought to ameliorate the situation with the reviled Object Code Only
| (OCO) policy. However, in exchange for yanking the source, IBM added many
| more exit points with structured, well-documented interfaces. In addition to
| the exits, IBM provided programming interfaces for changing and gathering
| system information without resorting to actually touching control blocks.

The incredible, expandable Linux netbook
,----[ Quote ]
| While I installed and run the netbook version of Ubuntu, I typically always
| switch over to ‘Classic Desktop’ mode (under Preferences and Switch Desktop
| Mode in either UNR or desktop mode). This offers an environment that’s
| familiar to my desktop and notebook Ubuntu, and also, I believe, offers a
| more advanced experience, with multiple workspaces and, after some minor
| tweaking, access to more tools and applications.
