10 Solutions to Major Linux Problems and Other Observations

,----[ Quote ]
| Solution #10 â Recent efforts by 4chan to stop AT&T censorship has inspired 
| me to start a âSpread FOSSâ campaign as a meta-campaign for all free and open 
| source software. Similar to Spread Firefox, but much more powerful and with 
| much more exposure. 4chan was successful in bringing the issue to light 
| because they had a majority of their community working towards the same goal 
| of spreading awareness. Jack Wallen asks Why arenât schools adopting open 
| source? and the answer is simply exposure to open source. Getting thousands 
| of students to call and write to schools asking for FOSS in the education 
| system, getting FOSS to be a trending topic on twitter and other social 
| networking websites, getting thousands of people to give out Linux 
| Distribution CDâs on the streets; now that is exposure. The kind of exposure 
| FOSS needs.

How can I get valuable documents off a virus-infected flash drive?

| What a problem! It's scary just to plug in such a dangerous drive.
| 
| Since most malware is operating system specific, use a non-Windows computer, 
| such as a Mac or a Linux machine. 
| 
| Put Linux on Your Machine
| 
| Various versions of Linux, referred to as Linux Live, can boot from a CD or 
| flash drive. Use Puppy Linux. It's free (not unusual for Linux), small, and 
| very easy to set up on a CD. Putting it onto a flash drive isn't hard, 
| either. Â
