| zipping around.
|
| The big benefit, of course, is that you're running Linux. While you can't let
| your guard down, you'll be much safer from viruses and other problems when
| you're wandering around the Internet.

Is there life after Windows?

| Linux is free, easy-to-use and is shedding its geeky image, thanks to fans
| who prefer it to Microsoft's mighty operating systems. But is it for
| everyone? Jamie Merrill asks four rookies to put it to the test
|
| [...]
|
| "If you talk to a lot of Windows users and ask them what they use, they
| say, 'I'm using Firefox and OpenOffice,' and if you boot up, say, Linux
| Ubuntu, a community-developed, Linux-based operating system created for
| laptops, desktops and servers, both those tools are there, so it's familiar
| territory, totally safe and free. So the question should 'why not use
| Linux?'".
