9 reasons to switch from Windows to Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| As you can see there are many reasons to switch from Windows to Linux, some 
| good, some bad. What you need to realize is that a lot of things are better 
| in Linux than Windows, but that better also means different. You should not 
| expect Linux to be an exact copy of Windows. If you recognize yourself in 
| some of the good reasons above I suggest that you continue reading this blog! 
| Next week I will explain what is a Linux distribution, something you will 
| want to know in order to get the right Linux for you. The week after I will 
| present some of the disadvantages of Linux.

Where does Linux fit in the business desktop?

,----[ Quote ]
| As a matter of fact, Linux terminal servers are well known for their uptime 
| and accessibility. Also, Linux is also well known for working out ways to 
| work with and communicate with other systems. so you can have an AS400 client 
| on a Linux desktop as easily as you can on a Windows desktop.

| Forget the thousands of school and university students running Linux on their
| desktops. Forget the nonprofit and charitable institutions worldwide using
| Linux to power their systems.
|
| Forget Google, NASA, the US Department of Defense and dozens of global
| government agencies that use Linux for their day-to-day operations. Why
| should you run Linux on your computer?

Gameloft Moves 1,000 Desktops to Ubuntu Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| “It’s been a pretty big deployment, well over 1000 desktops and it’s been a
| huge success,” crows the source. “Ubuntu does the same job [as Windows] for
| zero cash. The most painful thing about the change over was moving to
| Thunderbird from Outlook. No one has batted an eyelid about moving to Gnome.”
