Linux is for doing, not socializing

| Linux does fine as it is. With Linux, I have been
| able to get a lot of work done. In schools, in
| businesses and at home. Things are getting done.
| Tasks accomplished.
|
| They are getting done at a lower cost, they are
| getting done With less oversight required. They are
| getting done without any idiot who took a programming
| class nailing it with a virus or other malware.

Welcome To "Kids Without"
,----[ Quote ]
| This organization was founded in Helena, MT on Oct. 3, 2006 with one simple
| goal in mind. To provide computers to families who can't afford them while
| recycling used computer hardware which is donated directly to the
| organization... You would be suprised.... After testing the hardware we
| pop in a CD with http://edubuntu.org on it.... Then when the system
| boots.... The machine is tested by my kids and if it passes this check list
| it's ready to be distributed....
