Linux In the Movies-- Thumbs Up!
,----[ Quote ]
| YouTube videos are tiny and blurry, and sometimes so herky-jerky they cause
| motion sickness. But where else can you find thousands of Linux videos on
| every subject imaginable? Here is a collection of short videos starring
| Linux: from IBM, Novell, and random creative people doing random creative
| acts like taking Tux skydiving, running 165 Linux applications at once, and
| making movies with Blender.

the home desktop, the the work station and the school desktop, oh my!

| The Linux home desktop. This is the coveted property that untold numbers go

| So, start the schools using OpenSource software and Linux. The students will
| be trained and proficient on it. Workplaces will buy into it to accommodate
| to meet the capabilities and experience of the incoming generations of

Linux Against Poverty - It is a GO
,----[ Quote ]
| Quoting Helen Keller in a Linux blog may seem strange, but there are many
| parallels between this magnificent woman and Free Software/Linux. We both
| started way behind the competition with handicaps and hindrances that made it
| almost laughable that we would compete.
|
| First they Ignore you
| Then they laugh at you
| Then they fight you
| Then you win...
|
| Of course you can only win if you compete.
|
| Common sense. And not being afraid.

How Linux Can Help Reduce Poverty
,----[ Quote ]
| Poverty is a global problem, which is not limited to third world developing
| countries. Even mature developed nations like United States has ~18% poverty
| rate. There are many reasons and causes of poverty, which includes but not
| limited to, natural disasters, war, disease, politics, religion, and
| over-population and so on and so forth. Some of these causes are beyond our
| control while others are beyond our means. There is no single factor that can
| totally eliminate poverty, even the almighty latest Linux Kernel release; but
| many ideas and anti-poverty initiative can come together to reduce the causes
| of poverty.
