Open source challenge for Simply Computers
,----[ Quote ]
| Tony and Vicki Houlbrooke are Linux
| evangelists, but it seems the Whakatane
| coupleâs customers are far from sold on the
| platform.
|
| The company claims to use Linux more
| extensively than other businesses by using
| it on desktops and servers. âOur heart is
| very much in open source software,â says
| Tony, adding he also promotes Gentoo for
| servers and Ubuntu for desktops.
|
| [...]
|
| The bulk of the work comes from repairing
| problems associated with Windows, but Tony
| is optimistic about the prospects for Linux
| growth alongside cloud computing; saying the
| cloud could free customers from being
| chained to particular operating systems.

Installing fresh operating systems, then updating them.

| I wonder why windows cannot, or does not do
| their updates in this manner. After all, as
| with most Linux distributions, all an update
| is doing is replacing one or more binary files
| with another. It should be a no brainer to
| just download the latest files, install them
| and be done with it. If a "hobbyist OS" such
| as Linux can do this simple yet important task
| then why can't a "professional OS" do this?
| What do you think?
