Introduction
Playing with Linux since Ubuntu v8.04. Eventually will make the switch completely from Micros~1 at home, but still involved doing Corporate Presentations in a Windows World.
Linux offers a robust, fun computing enviroment, how can we help you make better use of it?
Time to stop acting like Geeks and accept that ordinary people will be using the product. Get away with GnuRecursive Names, and every Product starting with K (KDE) and make it friendly and understandable to the masses. If you want wider acceptance
What appeals to you most about Open Source Software?
Besides being Free. The speed which bugs get fixed and making more secure products by lots of dedicated users. Not being 'told' what I can and can't do with MY computer and MY data. No DRM.
Do you currently use linux?
Playing with Ubuntu v8.10, used Live-CD's in the past, mostly Knoppix.
What is your favorite distribution of linux?
Ubuntu.
