Why I Love Linux and FOSS
,----[ Quote ]
| It fosters real innovation, not the fake kind that proprietary vendors are so
| fond of boasting about.
| It promotes honesty.
| It is a powerful force against tyranny.
| It is a powerful force against shoddiness, and a powerful force for quality.
| It doesn't force me to choose between my important personal principals and a
| paycheck.
| Its success does not depend on people being stupid or deceived.

Linux: Save The Earth, Save A Buck?
,----[ Quote ]
| A good example is what's known as the "tickless kernel." This is a capability
| built into recent Linux kernels that powers up the processor -- a major
| power-consumption source in any computer system -- only when it needs to
| work. As others have noted, it's a power-saving feature that works in devices
| ranging from netbooks to data-center servers; over time, it can deliver
| serious savings for companies with even a modest IT footprint.

Love and UNIX: An Undying Affection
,----[ Quote ]
| On the other hand, an operating system is a reflection of the values,
| personality, and ultimately, the psyche of the designer. And if I'm going to
| have to settle for a reflection, is it too much to ask it be a nice, warm,
| sympathetic psyche in the glass? One that will enjoy walks on the beach and
| dinners by candlelight as much as I do? Is it wrong to want more out of a
| relationship in which so much of my time is spent? Isn't it okay to want to
| feel just a little more fulfilled? I have so much to give... Must I throw my
| love away?

Linux helped me with my Valentine
,----[ Quote ]
| So I fired up the Gimp, which is the open source equivalent to photoshop, and
| created a heart filled card full of flowery valentines phrases. While I can
| read and understand Turkish I am not a good enough writer to adequately
| express myself. For that, Linux, partnered with google, gave me lots of help.

10 Reasons You’ll Love Fedora 10
,----[ Quote ]
| These are only the features that have been developed by Fedora Project

I love Ubuntu, and here is why
,----[ Quote ]
| Ubuntu has gone out of it’s way to include the latest and greatest that the
| open source community has to offer and has even simplified the
| interactiveness of the operating system in ways that only make other
| distr[i]butions (explained above) jealous and annoyed.
|
| Some versions of Linux will not be so friendly as to even have a preinstalled
| instant messenger that (by default) keeps a log of instant message from your
| friends. This means that when you open the chat window and start a
| conversation with a friend you can see the history and see what you have
| talked about in the past. This also means that you can look up what was said
| even when you are not talking to that particular contact.

| 3. The package repositories are vast and up-to-date...
|
| 4. It’s not paranoid about “non-free” software.

,----[ Quote ]
| Fedora 9 ships with GNOME 2.22 and KDE 4.03 by default, and while KDE 4.0x
| has received a lot of attention and buzz in the free software world, this
| GNOME release is also very exciting.
