For many, here am not talking about the computer geeks, the first OS that they may use will be proprietary such as Microsoft Windows or MacOS. I was not an exception . I started using computers with MS Windows 3.1 then I went thru Win 95, 98, 2000, XP and now I am struggling with my Vista Home Premium. Unfortunately I haven't been so lucky to have a Mac with me.
The Big Shift
Well, proprietary softwares are good, I liked them. A lot of functionality, easily upgraded or updated and the like. But now I have decided and I am moving to open source, free softwares. As I am writing, am I've already installed Ubuntu 8.10 on top of my Vista running HP Compaq 6720s. Sometimes you lack many things you would expect from a MS Windows OS system but free OS is freedom.
Still I do not know so much about these free, open source OS, but I would recommend the following sites for some good lessons on what these are:
1. sourceforge click here to go
2. Debian click here to go
3. freedos click here to go
4. Fedora Linux click here to go
And yet wikipedia.org can offer a lot of info too.
Plato once said, 'We can easily forgive a child who's afraid of the dark, but the real tragedy of life is when men afraid the light.' I write about me, about people I like and admired, about what I do, what I see, and about where I live.
