- libervisco, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This is why I don't advocate "Linux". I advocate Free Software. It is a new way of thinking about technology, not object-centered view, but the flow-centered view. You have small components and a whole ocean of information. Touch it with your mind, connect the dots and create new innovative things with it; whatever you can imagine it can become.
But this is not possible in a world in which devices and software are still deliberately designed to be incompatible and to lock certain people, standards and technologies out. - baalzebub, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2i don't advocate Linux, i do use Linux and considering microsoft's latest product the poor quality of Vista will advocate Linux all by it self :)
- schestowitz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Good point (which you make evident in your sites as well). It's also naive to just ignore OpenSolaris and the BSDs, let alone standards that connect everything to facilitate Freedom (to move programs and data around).
- hmcook87, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1linux is great for servers. Some people find it works great on the desktop as well. Sadly i'm not one of those people. Each and every attempt to to use linux has had me crawling back to microsoft after days of frustration. In fact I got so sick of crawling back to microsoft (the bastards) i jumped over to apple. Its BSD after all.... so its a *nix that actually works. If only they'd put a bloody right click button on this macbook pro.... but still, it combines the few things that are good about windows with some other good things from unix and rolls it up into an OS I can use without having to think about it. Or type commands in that stupid terminal. I mean a terminal for goodness sake! In this day and age!
