Why I Use Linux: Bryan’s Story

,----[ Quote ]
| Meanwhile, my two Linux systems just keep on running.  Restart – never, well, 
| nearly never.  Hardware issues – not my Linux.  Heck, Puppy Linux (and Mepis 
| before that) had no issue even with the wireless PCMCIA card I put in my old 
| laptop (that tells you how old it is).

Essential tips to help you work smarter with Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| The way we use computers has changed. This is thanks to the fact that most of 
| us are continually connected to the internet. But the evolution of Linux has 
| also played an important role in this revolution.  
| 
| The open source development model means that anyone with half an inclination 
| can develop and distribute their own software, and thousands of developers 
| have done just that. The majority of those applications might not be all that 
| revolutionary, but there's a small, essential core of tools and applications 
| that are changing the way we do things on the desktop.

Desktop Linux - If it ain't broke don't fix it!

,----[ Quote ]
| I have been using Linux for a decade and using PCLinuxOS since it's 0.92
| release. I had installed PCLinuxOS 0.92 sometime in 2005 worked on it for
| quite a long period, and installed the much anticipated pclos 2007. But I had
| to distro-hop, when I sold off that desktop and brought home a low-cost
| notebook. Hopped a full circle across the much hyped distros but again came
| back to pclos - the venerable PCLinuxOS 2008 MiniME.

Why everyone should be using an Open Source operating system

,----[ Quote ]
| Most people are just not aware there's a choice, most people don't even know
| what a Operating System is.
| It's up to us to make them now.

A tool

,----[ Quote ]
| “I just want it to work.”
|
| I believe that the interface for the program/operating system/web application
| should be as simple, intuitive and consistent as possible (see Google, Apple,
| Moo etc.).
|
| In My Humble Opinion, this is why (Ubuntu) Linux has made such leaps and
| bounds, the fact that it now pretty much works out of the box on wide variety
| of platforms.

ASUS Eee PC is a good option for a lightweight laptop

,----[ Quote ]
| All told, the Eee PC is a great out-of-the-box Linux laptop for new users.
| With the default Xandros install, everything just works. The boot speeds are
| amazing, and suspend/resume works great.

Adventures in Linux go forth

| Finally, Linux has grown to become a viable rival to Windows. Why? It just
