Consider Linux for Secure Online Banking
,----[ Quote ]
| Windows is like an ocean full of sharks. Do you really want to swim where the
| sharks swim, even if you take some defensive measures? Macs are like a
| swimming pool, no sharks. But, the Mac pool is deep and often neglected.
| Linux also offers a swimming pool, but it's shallower and better maintained
| (more later) than the Mac pool.

The death of Linux Evangelism, and the rise of Education

| You now have to "show" them instead of just "telling" them in order to get
| them to bite. It's like fish. You can't tell them that they should get on
| your hook. You have to provide a fat, tasty worm first before they'll even
| consider looking at your hook.

| Which reminds me. When teaching them about Linux and FOSS, also teach them
| how to find the answers they need on their own. If they know how to educate
| themselves, all you'll need to do is more or less be the mother goose, the
| one who hatches them and gets them out of the nest, after which they're able
| to survive on their own.

| Since GNU/Linux users tend not to run anti-virus programs, and don't use

Secure web browsing through Live Linux distros
,----[ Quote ]
| Banking isn't the be-all and end-all: there's many other reasons you'd
| want a secure system, separate from what's on the hard disk, besides
| Internet banking. Traveller's can't necessarily trust the integrity of
| a computer in an Internet cafe.
