Linux For Computer Science Majors
,----[ Quote ]
| I’ve had Linux installed as my primary OS for about 3 years, and as a
| computer science major, it’s certainly my environment of choice. Not only
| does Linux deliver a rich desktop environment, but also the command-line and
| its vast number of utilities are indespensible for any sort of development.
| It still suprises me, then, when I see other CS majors at my university who
| are so unfamiliar with Linux, and who cringe when any programming assignment
| requires Linux for one reason or another.

Tell Them It’s Linux!!
,----[ Quote ]
| I found it amusing that most people thought KDE 4 was Windows 7 but hardly
| that surprising if I’m honest. I wouldn’t expect most people in the general
| public to know the difference and why should they? This was obviously meant
| just as a joke and that’s all very well but as I watched one thought screamed
| louder and louder inside my head, “for god’s sake tell them it’s Linux!!!”. I
| know this wasn’t a Linux advocacy project and I don’t even know if these guys
| care at all about open source, it’s up to them but they could have said just
| one word to these people after showing them the software. A little word
| beginning with “L” and ending in “x”. As I watched these people looking at
| Amarok and saying “oh wow, is this included?” I got more and more irate.
