Linux: I've got to admit it's getting better
,----[ Quote ]
| I recently installed Linux (Ubuntu 9.04 “Jaunty Jackalope” to be exact) on my
| not-so-old pentium 4 HT machine, the very same computer where different Linux
| distros have been installed over the course of two years. What struck me most
| after this very latest installation is how Linux has evolved and has become a
| more than capable desktop operating system.

What's wrong with free?
,----[ Quote ]
| So next time you get into a bit of trouble with Windows, just think. It
| doesn't have to be this way. Go on dip your toes in. Ubuntu, Mint, Mandriva,
| openSuse. Just “google” “ask” or “yahoo” one of the names and take a look.
| They are all free so you really do have nothing to loose but ten minutes of
| your time.
|
| Install them, spend a little time playing, give them a chance and I think
| you'll agree, there's nothing wrong with free!

Editor's Note: We Put the "No" In Innovation!
,----[ Quote ]
| A general rule of marketing is "The more noise they make, the less they have
| to crow about." Who makes the most noise about "innovation"? I bet you can
| guess....
|
| Every day I get virtually snowed under by blizzards of press releases. (I'm
| not sure that email is better than paper, because I could burn paper for
| heat, or compost it. Happy red worms like paper and break it down fast.) A
| few of them actually have something to do with Linux and FOSS. The rest are
| horrid collections of buzzwords, broken HTML, political foamings, spam, and
| irrelevant whatevers.
|
| For a long time the favorite buzzword was "paradigm." Remember all those
| paradigm shifts? There was a bit of humor value because none of them used the
| word correctly. (Wikipedia has an excellent article and definition.) But it
| got boring after the thousandth dopey repetition. Finally it died out, as
| these things do, and its replacement was "innovation". Now there is a
| perfectly good word that does not deserve to be abused in this fashion, but
| marketers are ruthless and without conscience when it comes to word abuse.
