LXer: Why People Like Linux
3/11/2006 – 10:03 am
I’m not agreeing with everything he has to say, but the article is interesting and certainly describes some of the reasons I choose Linux. If you haven’t tried it yet, check out Ubuntu’s Live CD on any PC. If you can boot from a CD you can play with Linux and not risk any of the existing stuff on your computer.
The things about Linux that one could characterise a year ago have changed. I remember how wonderful I regarded the 2.035 kernel, Samba, Apache and “C” in 1998. We didn’t have KDE and Gnome but that didn’t matter.

Thanks for the link! Was able to also track down where to buy little stuffed Linux penguins. ;>
My own Ubuntu install was incredibly easy–no complicated things to do and everything just worked including printing and Internet.
