Why Linux and open source matters for small businesses and schools
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux is adopted by many corporate companies and government institutions
| worldwide. Its use and desktop appearance is quite similar to Windows, thus
| easy to learn and use. Linux provides higher security, is less virus attacked
| (if at all), and more efficient in its use of hardware resources. Best of
| all, it is open source software and one can modify or adapt it to any purpose
| that suits one's use and environment.

The big three operating systems

| Faster boot-up times are also on the agenda with Ubuntu team having said that
| they hope to achieve boot times of less than 20 seconds with the release of
| Ubuntu 9.10. And more recently developers laid out plans to reduce that to
| sub-10 seconds with the release following Karmic in April 2010. With those
| speeds users can certainly expect faster startup times in Karmic with more
| improvements to come.

Back To School With Linux!
,----[ Quote ]
| I just received my first back to school notice in my email box. It came from
| PCMagazine. ÂThey're touting "Back to School software." ÂBut they also
| feature a review of Microsoft's Windows 7 operating system.
|
| I looked it over and I'm not impressed. ÂYou can read the review here. ÂIf
| you currently run Windows XP, well, you'll want to know about "XP Mode."
| This is virtualization software that allows XP users to run XP legacy
| software in Windows 7. ÂProblem is, it doesn't work very well.
|
| And other questions about Windows 7 are cropping up. ÂJohn C. Dvorak's column
| details some of the backlash.

| Linux Against Poverty amassed for us almost 100 ready-to-go computers.
| Plug 'em in and they are ready to go to work. It was in every sense of the
| word, a blessing.
