Apparently, a fair number of my readers think I am either clueless about Linux or worse, that I am just plain anti-Linux. Actually, both assumptions couldn’t be further from the truth! ... From 1991 through 1996, I was a UNIX systems administrator. At home, I piddled extensively with Slackware but I soon grew bored with the experimentation required to use Linux. (In those days, OpenOffice didn’t exist so I was still tied to Windows for much of my personal productivity needs.) Nevertheless, I never stopped watching Linux.
After reading the article, and many of the posts, all I could think of was freedom.... I can't run this so Linux is no good...I can't run that so Linux is no good. That is exactly why Linux is so good. Don't like Open office? Run Koffice (or one of the many others) Don't like GIMP? Run one of the many others. Don't like....(insert program name here).....run....well I'm sure you get the point.
Must really be terrible to be trapped and then have defend your reasons for being trapped.
Well I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you can not chain.......
I know I changed the lyric but I thought it more appropriate considering the subject matter
