What is it About Linux?

,----[ Quote ]
| Why do we love Linux so much? What is it that draws so 
| many of us into the tinkering, experimenting, and 
| everything else?
| 
| In the Linux world, we blur the line between 
| applications software and the operating system. This 
| is important. It allows us to have more flexibility 
| than any other operating system on Earth.

Scare Up Some Spooky Halloween Fun for Your Computer

,----[ Quote ]
| Even if you're not dressing up in costume this

| holiday. Trick out your computer with some creepy 
| skins and plugins or treat yourself to a few ghoulish 
| movies and desktop themes.--By Lisa Hoover
| 
| KDE-Look has plenty of scary, silly, and spooky 
| Halloween themes for your desktop. Choose from a 
| variety of pumpkins, skulls, ghosts, and even a Trick 
| or Treating Pacman.
| 
| GNOME-Look also has a few Halloween themes to choose 
| from. From dressed-up scarecrows to cinematic scary 
| guy Michael Myers, you're sure to find something you 
| like at this site.

Linux Live CDs: Why I love them.

,----[ Quote ]
| So what did we learn? Linux is a very versatile operating system that can run
| on just about any hardware, with any configuration. Most importantly, GO GET
| THE LIVE CD. It will save your ass someday and you will be glad that you
| burned that disc.

Why I chose GNU/Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| The reason GNU/Linux makes sense to me is that I am a big fan of the âFree
| softwareâ ideal. I like the fact that I can take my software and change it to
| work for me and that is completely legal. I like that I can freely distribute
| the code to anyone I want. I also like knowing that there are people who see
| things the same way are there to protect my rights (FSF). I use GNU/Linux out
| of a desire to live free and without the threat of someone installing a
| rootkit or a spy program to make sure I am using it the way the company who
| made it want me to.
