Open Source enables customized applications
,----[ Quote ]
| We adopted open source mainly because we
| can build an application suiting our needs.
| Moreover, if we are locked in a proprietary
| set up, we will be forced to do frequent
| updates. Often we have found that most of
| updates do not give the level of business
| benefits that we look for. To put it
| simply, we do not want to be forced to do
| an upgrade just because a new version is
| available.

Scammers get better tools for tapping social networks
,----[ Quote ]
| Paterva describes Maltego as an open source
| intelligence and forensics application that
| can import and correlate data from almost
| any publicly available online source,
| including social networks, search engines
| and PGP key databases. A community edition
| of the tool also can be downloaded.
|
| The application can be used to determine
| relationships and real-world connections
| between people, groups of people such as
| those in a social network, companies and
| Web sites. It can also be used to find
| links between domains, DNS names, IP
| addresses and even documents and files on
| the Internet.

The strength of Linux is in it's flexibility
,----[ Quote ]
| No other operating system that I know of has so many choices to enable it to
| be customised in the way that you wish. If you don't like the desktop, you
| can change it. If you don't like the installed programs, you can change them.
| If you don't like the package management, you can change it. You can, with
| the proper knowledge of course, change every single aspect of the Linux
| operating system (for the hair splitters, when I say Linux I mean the Linux
| kernel and any other installed programs to make an operating system) to suit
| your special requirements.
