With Folk Like This GNU/Linux Needs No Enemies
,----[ Quote ]
| Since I am no longer fond of Microsoft products and have never been fond of
| Apple much I wondered how Kim handles questions about GNU/Linux a.k.a. Linux.
| Some searches on her site point to Linux questions that are only covered
| under her premium content. While I am curious how Kim answers these questions
| I am not curious enough to pay to find out. I also did some web searching
| with AltaVista and found that Kim has a regular column in the Gannett owned
| USA Today. Her last column there that had Linux in the title was in 2003. I
| read the column and discovered the typical “Linux is a command-line OS”,
| which it is not, and “GNU/Linux is only for tinkerers”, meaning geeks,
| information.

| There are more “experts” like Kim out there on the WWW that make their living
| off of Microsoft created problems. For the most part they all denigrate
| adoption of GNU/Linux by average desktop PC users. After all, these “experts”
| are invested in Microsoft as their cash cow and do not want to kill that
| beast. I understand their motivation to keep people on Microsoft products
| even though I find this motivation repugnant. GNU/Linux is definitely ready
| to be used by average users buying preloaded desktop systems. The typical
| Microsoft “expert” is just not ready for GNU/Linux it seems.

Yahoo! Answers is rejecting Open-Source options in answers

| Someone got a computer from a friend that has some serious problems

| How is recommending freely available and legal alternatives abuse?
| ImgBurn is also a perfectly legal program, so are Ubuntu and Kubuntu
| (they're Linux).
