,----[ Quote ]

| Companies that turn to free or open source software during the downturn to
| save money may miss the whole point of non-proprietary code, according to
| free software advocate Richard Stallman.

| So, the last couple of days I've been moving all my files down to the
| slug and thinking about what I'm going to do. Maybe I'm being hasty
| and impulsive and will regret this, but I'm going for it. I'm
| putting GNU/Linux on Zodiac. I'm going to try letting go of
| Windows as my primary working environment.
