Why GNU/Linux is Unmatched â and Unmatchable
,----[ Quote ]
| Users of free software are nothing if not
| passionate. Most of them care deeply about the
| code they use, and will happily plunge into
| the flamewars that flare up regularly across
| the Web. The core focus of those arguments is
| well established by now: against Mac fans,
| it's about the virtues of true openness and
| freedom; against Windows fans (do they still
| exist?) it's about those, as well as security,
| speed, stability, etc. But there's another
| aspect that rarely gets discussed, and yet it
| represents one of GNU/Linux's greatest
| strengths: the breadth of hardware platforms
| supported.
|
| Today, GNU/Linux runs on just about everything
| that has a processing chip, from the smallest
| embedded system, through smartphones, ARM-
| based netbooks, laptops, multiple desktop
| architectures, servers and mainframes to the
| mightiest supercomputer â 91% of the top 500
| systems run some form of Linux. Recent
| additions to the Linux family include Android-
| based tablets, Internet radios and TVs (and
| not just from Google).

The Four Different Types of Linux Users
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux Advocate:
| Someone who uses Linux because they feel it is
| a superior or more stable operating
| environment. Typically this is someone who
| knows their way around the computer a bit and
| isn't afraid to post on a forum asking a
| question or get their hands dirty with a bit
| of terminal code to get their system up and
| running. While they love the power of FOSS
| they realize at the same time that the entire
| world does not work in this manner (although
| it would be great if it did). They are
| typically willing to use restricted codecs and
| closed source video drivers to get the
| performance and functionality they need out of
| their system. While it is not uncommon for
| them to recommend Linux to their family and
| friends, most times they will even help them
| get it setup, they realize that some people
| are happy with Windows and they acknowledge
| this.

Mandriva Linux 2010 â Perhaps The Best Linux Release All Year
,----[ Quote ]
| This really is a banner release for Mandriva.
| Itâs been a long time since I could recommend
| it too much, but itâs moved way up my list
| with 2010. For new users the complete
| experience with Mandriva One live CD will
| convince you better than my words and for
| loyal users, well, you already know. It might
| be too soon to say, but it feels like this
| release will go down as Mandrivaâs best ever
| â and perhaps it just might be the best Linux
| release of the year.
