Open source in recent years has made its way from the fringes of the IT world into the core of data centers. Most of the words "Top 500" super computers run Linux. Data centers (whether they are aware of it or not) use Linux-based appliances and servers for many things. VMWare's ESXi, Watchgaurd's Firebox, Sonicwall, and many others run Linux as the kernel of their OS's. Many home users whether they are aware of it or not use Linux on things like routers, printservers, and network attached storage devices.

It's hardly ever that a piece of software really just impresses me. If you follow my blog, you will find that I am somewhat of a cheapskate-- I like free software so I'm always looking for a way to do something for little or no cost, thus the reason I use Linux, among other pieces of software. I've never been a huge fan of Photoshop for digital photography, and this is really more personal preference than anything.

John wrote an article about installing Vista on his laptop. Well I agree...I'd rather have a colonoscopy too than install Vista, but moreso from the upgrade side than the install side. I had XP on one of my laptops. I wanted to do an in place upgrade on my XP install, but the "compatibility check" required that I remove my brain and replace it with a walnut, stand on my head for 4 days, then memorize War and Peace while Vista decided whether or not one of my laptop (not the one running Linux) was worthy of its software presence.

So, I guess it has been about a month now since are reinstalled Ubuntu 8.10 on my laptop. I've been exploring many open source programs that are coaxing me away from some of my Windows software that I used in my past life. So far, my sucess rate has been pretty good with Linux, but its still, at least in my humble opinion not ready for the masses, and here's a couple of reasons why: |
