Switching to Linux: One man's personal experience
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux boots up faster than Windows and has a
| snappy feel. With Ubuntu on my notebook, for
| instance, double clicking a 1 mb Word
| document takes 15 seconds to start Open
| Office and open the document. Using
| Microsoft Word in Vista takes 50 seconds. In
| both systems the task is much faster when
| run a second time, possibly due to caching -
| two seconds for Linux and six for Vista.
|
| No OS is perfect, but I've found Linux to be
| fast, stable, and secure. While I still use
| Windows for a few specific programs, Linux
| offers greater peace of mind in everyday use
| - especially when online.

Get a Linux desktop to make Windows and OS X users weep with envy
,----[ Quote ]
| Good looks was never supposed to be a
| priority for Linux apps. It wasn't so long
| ago that we seemed to be struggling to get
| even basic eye-candy such as anti-aliased
| fonts to work on the Linux desktop, but
| things have changed almost beyond
| recognition.
|
| It's now fair to say that the Linux desktop
| is at the forefront of visual effect, a
| cornucopia of eye-candy overflowing on to
| your desktop. And with a few tweaks, it can
| look even better.

| As you can, we can save lots of money in the
| basics by taking the Linux route, versus the
| mainstream-friendly Windows path.
