5 Things That Make Linux Great

2. It's free 3. It's free 4. It's free 5. It's free

Not to mention...

It's Free

I think more people need to understand the Free vs. free argument, and they need to be told this from a friendlier perspective, one that is not so didactic...which, unfortunately, most of us find ourselves doing at some point quite easily. The recent GNU birthday video with Stephen Fry is a great example, a very friendly individual comparing Free Software to having a friend fix the plumbing in your house. MS and Co. don't allow that sort of freedom. I couldn't imagine buying a car that I wasn't allowed to work on myself, or to get a friend or different vendor to work on. That said, I still take it back to the Toyota shop for all service, etc...but that's choice at work, not mere enforced circumstance.

WOW! Its FREE?? "It must be good!"

I'm gonna have to get out there and try it right now! :P

Just a bit of sarcasm to brighten the day...

99.999 percent of the computer users out there have no idea ...

Quoting:'m gonna have to get out there and try it right now!

Now there's a thought.

It's EXPENSIVE, BLOATED, and UNSTABLE?

I'm gonna have to get out there and laugh derisively at it right now!
