Who Should - or Shouldn't - Use Linux?

,----[ Quote ]
| Independence Day may come only once a year 
| here in the land of stars and stripes, but 
| the topic of independence is one that's never 
| far from Linux bloggers' minds.

Who gives a fsck about a license? 

,----[ Quote ]
| As someone who uses Linux I do not care what 
| license it is under. I use it because it 
| suits my computing style. I use it because it 
| does what I want, how I want and in the 
| manner that I want. The computer becomes an 
| extension of me. I cannot achieve that with 
| proprietary operating systems where I have to 
| conform with how they think I should use my 
| computer.

,----[ Quote ]
| "We're trying to get as many people as possible to switch to Linux, because
| the main thing is most people don't use computers for fancy things, so
| they're wasting money," said Ken Starks, a Linux advocate and owner of HeliOS
| Solutions in Austin, Texas, which strives to create technologies and provide
| cost effective products to its customers.

Lindependence 2008 -- An invitation

,----[ Quote ]
| Lindependence 2008 introduces Linux to the town of Felton, California --
| about 6,000 people who live at the foot of the San Lorenzo Valley in Santa
| Cruz County, California. The plan behind Lindependence 2008 involves
| assisting those wishing to declare their digital independence for an entire
| week -- starting on Independence Day 2008 -- by using their choice of distro
| and FOSS programs.

Linuxy Declarations of Independence

,----[ Quote ]
| It's almost the Fourth of July, and few things represent the freedoms we
| enjoy as Americans more than open source software. Now, if only the
| proprietary world would open up their drivers, quit violating the GPL and
| abandon copy protection, we'd all be a lot happier.
