A New Take on FUD
,----[ Quote ]
| FUD is often used to discourage people from
| using Free Software but Rex Djere turns it
| around. His thesis is that the purveyors of
| non-Free software are the ones in fear about
| how their control of people will slip their
| grasp with exposure to Free Software. Nice.

Windows is easy, right?
,----[ Quote ]
| It is a well known fact, right? Windows
| operating system is easy, whereas Linux is a
| frightening tool for geeks. Whether this is a
| misconception created by fear and ignorance,
| a culmination of many years of real life
| experience sprinkled with some aggressive
| advertisement or just a buzzword, well, it
| has yet to be seen - in this article.

| Operating systems are geek tools. Software is
| geeky. Let no one fool you. Nothing short of
| a revolution will change the software models.
| We're still stuck in the 80s mindset of what
| programs ought to look like and how they
| should behave. A fraction of the population
| manages to get along and sometimes on top of
| this mess, but most people are floundering
| and drowning in the ocean of binary despair.

,----[ Quote ]
| GNU/Linux and FOSS make the proprietors of
| closed-source software very afraid because
| the psychological relationship between
| the end-user and the producer of software is
| entirely different.

Linux is as secure as ever
,----[ Quote ]
| Here's what really happened. UnrealIRCd, a
| rather obscure open-source IRC (Internet Relay
| Chat) server, wasn't so much hacked as the
| program it was letting people download has
| been replaced by one with a built-in security
| hole. Or, as they explained on their site,
