What SHOULD Linux be?

,----[ Quote ]
| Focus on Linux, not a Windows or OS X clone.
| 
| I can certainly understand, in some instances, 
| why the Linux community would want to borrow 
| an idea from either Windows or OS X. Some of 
| their ideas are quite good. Just like both 
| Windows and OS X would borrow from Linux.

The adoption and use of Linux in Africa- A detailed African perspective

,----[ Quote ]
| My last article about spreading Linux here in 
| Africa and other developing places seemed to 
| have sparked off some interesting debate about 
| what really hinders the spreading of FOSS in 
| general and Linux in particular on this 
| continent. FOSS blogging giants like Mr Glyn 
| Moody are among those that added their voices 
| to the debate.
| 
| For the sake of clarity, I would like us to 
| take a detailed look (from the perspective of 
| an African living in Africa) at what I 
| strongly and sincerely believe are obstacles 
| to the adoption and use of Free and Open 
| Source Software. For ease of reading, I would 
| be dividing this article into 2 parts - the 
| environmental factors and the software/vendor 
| factors. For the sake of simplicity, I would 
| also be using my country Ghana as a microcosm 
| for the African continent.

Differences Between Linux And Windows

,----[ Quote ]
| This article will discuss the differences
| between the Linux and Windows operating
| softwareâs; we discuss some of the proâs and
| conâs of each system.
|
| Let us first start out with a general
| overview of the Linux operating system.
| Linux at its most basic form is a computer
| kernel. The Kernel is the underlying
| computer code, used to communicate with
| hardware, and other system software, it also
| runs all of the basic functions of the
| computer.
