OK, here we go, once and for all. WHAT IS LINUX? What's UNIX, and why is there such a crazy following for it? I know it's some sort of operating system, but is it similar to Windows? MacOS? I'm not computer-stupid...how come everyone has heard of it except for me? What's so good about it? It seems to me that if you don't like windows for all the typical reasons, use a mac. why would you ever use linux?Oh and, what's Ubuntu exactly? And please don't give me the traditional "google is your friend..." or "try looking it up instead of wasting our time even though I took the time to write out this response to you." kind of responses. Thank you.

no offence, but you seem to be "computer-stupid"instead of posting your message and asking for answers, you could have <a class="user" href="http://justf**kinggoogleit.com/">http://justf**kinggoogleit.com/</a>

Yo - I am the dude who wrote the article... Just to clarify - I don't spend that much time on the crapper... but I do like a good long shower. My bathroom is small enough that I can have a water-proof touchscreen between he shower and the john.Actually I really was just kidding there... but every joke has a part of truth ;-)

"Anyway, sorry for the dissertation, but in rebuttal to the ?look it up? responses, Flipperbw won't find the answer to their questions on the web, at least not easily or clearly (believe me, I've been looking for years now!) -TDS"hmmmm, and yet this digg is ON THE WEB where he is trying to find the answer....usually I can find things much faster on the web than ANY other resource. anything in print will be out of date by the time you can read it. the web can be updated to the minute as long as the source keeps their info up to date. there are a lot of resources about linux variants on the web. you just have to take the time to pick which distro you want to stick with and then move on to their website or a lug (linux user group) that supports that variant...

Interesting discussion on the LTSP...I have been trying to dig up more inputs on the future of projects such as the LTSP for a page we run on Linux Research & Future ( <a class="user" href="http://www.eit.in/sw/os/linux/research/linux_research.html">http://www.eit.in/sw/os/linux/research/linux_research.html</a> ) and I find this blog article to be quite a useful one...thanks for the same...I have collected some inputs from the LTSP project home page on sourceforge (?) as welleIT.in @ <a class="user" href="http://www.eit.in">http://www.eit.in</a>
