Rescue a broken system with Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| Some argue that Windows is inherently easier 
| to use than Linux, while that may have been 
| true 15 years ago before the Graphical User 
| Interface became increasingly popular for 
| Linux distros, nowadays there are new 
| advantages to the less-savvy computer to 
| really like about Linux.

Microsoft legal unfazed by Ubuntu Windows XP GUI clone

,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft legal has decided to react 
| passively to the news of Ylmf OS, a Linux 
| distribution that clones the look and feel of 
| Windows XP.

More Pleasant Surprises with Ubuntu

,----[ Quote ]
| As I continue to test and work with Ubuntu, I have come across a few more
| very pleasant surprises:
|
| - I plugged in my Logitech V20 Notebook Speakers (USB). They worked.
|
| - I plugged in my Logitech QuickCam for Notebooks Deluxe. It worked. No muss,
| no fuss, so searching for drivers, it just worked.
|
| - I plugged in my Canon BJC-55 printer. It worked. I printed a test page on
| it, and it came out perfect. This really is getting quite impressive.
|
| - I plugged in my Philips SPC1300NC webcam, and although it is recognized and
| identified correctly, it doesn't seem to work. This is a bit surprising,
| since it is a UVC-compatible device, I'll have to look into it a bit more.
