Linux & Open Source: Open-Source and Mac Alternatives to Windows 7

,----[ Quote ]
| Although Microsoft is gearing everyone up 
| for the release of Windows 7 on Oct. 22, 
| there are other solutions out there that 
| might satisfy a user's desire for a new 
| operating system without the additional 
| cost. Unlike Windows, open-source operating 
| system Linux has been tinkered with by 
| several developers who have attempted to do 
| more than re-create the basic computing 
| experience. And in many cases, they have 
| done a fine job at it. So fine, in fact, 
| that some Linux distributions can be 
| considered viable alternatives to Windows 7. 
| Since Windows 7 isn't for everyone, we've 
| found eight alternatives that you'll want to 
| try out. In addition to Mac OS X, they range 
| from basic consumer versions to enterprise-
| friendly Linux distributions that could 
| solve a real need in the corporate world. In 
| either case, they are worth considering 
| before jumping into Windows 7.

| I may even try running some other Windows programs in Wine at
| some point. Maybe. But there are so many excellent native Linux

Wine 1.1.28 finally supports installing SecuROM-infected games without crashing

,----[ Quote ]
| Iâve been frustrated for a while now because of Sonyâs SecuROM. For those
| that donât know, itâs another kind of DRM malware, not as bad as Starforce,
| but thatâs certainly not because they havenât been trying.
