A recent blog post entitled “Confessions of a Linux Fan” has provoked some discussion in the Linux community. In it, the author lists 10 things (10 seems to be the preferred number of these kinds of posts) that new Linux users should be aware of. Though the author claims to be a Linux enthusiast, the 10 observations are actually just re-wordings of many of the classic arguments against using Linux. What I find most damaging about this blog post is, however, that his underlying premise seems to be that we're not being honest with potential Linux users. I think all real Linux enthusiasts are being honest with potential users. But the truth is that the disinformation you see out there about Linux. What I want to do here is put some of the oft-repeated "facts" about Linux in perspective.
