Using Linux for the wrong reasons
,----[ Quote ]
| On this happy note, it's time to wrap this article. Don't
| take me too seriously, after all, this rant was meant to be
| fun. Still, as the popular saying goes, behind every joke is
| a grain of joke, I think my article does have merits.
|
| Linux is a tool, a lovely, friendly tool. To use it
| properly, you have to possess a certain skill set.
| Otherwise, the experience won't be pleasant. My hope is that
| future Linux converts will take to their hearts the advice
| given here and carefully consider the implications of making
| such a drastic move.
|
| Moving to Linux is just a beginning. Staying around is the
| journey. And being satisfied with the choice made is the
| end. Hopefully, we can all have a happy ending.

Life Lessons Learned From Using Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| The best things in life are free
|
| To be happy, there's no need for you to spend your money
| every time. And not all expensive things are better than
| those that are cheap. Before, I thought that the only way to
| get high-quality software is to spend more. But since I
| discovered Linux, and then Firefox, OpenOffice, Apache, and
| so on and so forth... I realized that I was wrong.

The Disappearing Desktop
,----[ Quote ]
| The âdesktopâ has been getting all the attention for the
| past score of years or so, and it was a big improvement from
| the âcommand lineâ, which is what we had to deal with prior
| to that. The desktop metaphor opened up all kinds of
| possibilities for people who had never used computers
| before, and unleashed a wave of new applications development
| the likes of which had never been previously seen.

The State Of Linux Desktop Functionality
,----[ Quote ]
| The next statement that keeps cropping up is that Linux has
| awful hardware detection and support. Unfortunately for those
| making this claim, it really depends on your perspective.
| Nearly everything you hook up to a modern Linux distro will
| work out of the box.

10 Reasons to use Linux for Enterprise Business
,----[ Quote ]
| For a year now the information technology sector has been
| suffering under the global economic recession. At this
| juncture, setting up a network system for any organization
| could be highly expensive. Linux is an open source OS and edges
| over it arch rival Windows in several instances when it comes
| to business. Apart from the fact that they are generally free,
| Linux is more secure, reliable and customizable than other
| proprietary counterparts. Some of the most renowned companies
| in the world, including the bigshots like Amazon, Google, and
| Yahoo, run their servers with Linux rather than Windows.

Linux in the Corporate Environment on the Desktop
,----[ Quote ]
| For those of you who don't know what Linux is, there are plenty of articles explaining
| its history to a great extent, but essentially, its an alternative Operating System that
| runs on computers capable of running Windows. There are multiple variants of Linux
| (Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian) but essentially the core of the system is very similar and from
| a desktop interaction perspective, there are some common interfaces to them all. Gnome
| and KDE being the two dominant GUIs.

Desktop-Linux Can Shape Enterprise Cost
,----[ Quote ]
| As enterprises are actively moving their business into remote cloud model,
| only standard interfaces are required on the desktop to access the data in
| the cloud. This can potentially open a window (pun not intended) for the IT
| department to train its employees in free software such as Linux, with the
| double benefit of adding expertise to its employees and slaying unnecessary
| IT investments.
