The Tower of Babel
,----[ Quote ]
| But in remembering this, it brings to mind
| what new Linux users may be going
| through...and more to the point, what we
| probably need to remember in teaching them.
|
| Sure, we speak the language...it's second
| nature for us. We think nothing of a file
| system with identifiers such as .etc and .var.
| Sudo apt-get and sudo gedit
| /etc/apt/sources.list rolls off our fingertips
| as if we were navigating the simplest of
| tasks. Some find the /.init/.d folder and
| subsequent commands second nature.

Cuba Lifts Ban on Home Computers

| I'm a Cuban. This happened more than a month ago. And we are very happy that
| someone finally came to his senses about it.
|
| What's new, though, is that [startin soon], they are going to be sold without
| operating systems... No more windows pre-installed. Or so I've heard. Now we
| only need tons of Ubuntu disks to give away at the sotre.
