The Linux Box's Elizabeth Ziph Discusses the Convergence of Customers,
Contributions and Code
,----[ Quote ]
| It's obviously working -- and working well. The Linux Box is currently at
| work supporting companies, educational institutions and non-profits in
| industries ranging from engineering to horticulture. It has survived (and
| grown) in what's been a tumultuous decade for the economy -- and technology.
| It's not just because it works with open source software -- it's because it
| can bring something more to its clients, and the projects its clients use.

Always Look on the Bright Side of FOSS

| For some, however, the ultimate fun is simply the joy of spreading Linux love
| to others.

| "I have spent the last few years of my life fighting obsolete software and
| hardware on computer systems in schools," Pogson said. "I am too tired to
| have any fun but the next installation of GNU/Linux and the smiles on a
| user's face when they find there are better ways to do things with a PC."

Ubuntu, everything I hoped forâso farâ
,----[ Quote ]
| From the moment I bought my new laptop Iâve been struggling with Vista. Not
| because itâs not intuitive, or I hate the way it looks, or because it is so
| different from previous versions, or itâs more expensive than other OSâs.
| Iâve been struggling because I bought a brand spankinâ new laptop and itâs
| sluggish. Â Â

| [...]
|
| I visited the site: Ubuntu.com and downloaded the 7.10 Desktop .ISO version.
| I slapped in a blank CD and in a couple of minutes had an install CD. less
| than 20 minutes later I was up and running with a brand new OS. Â
