What’s This “Linux” Thing and Why Should I Try It?

Thanks to so much good stuff about Linux lurking around in CyberSpace, it’s not necessary for me to personally write very much at this time.  This is a nice article that answers the questions in its title.

Tired of Reading about Linux? Listen and Learn via Linux Link!

Subscribe to one or more of a long list of podcasts designed to help Linux users. There are way too many choices for me to even begin to recommend individual podcasts. From Linux Distro information to Ubuntu to Open Source, the decision is yours. Freedom isn’t always easy! Many of these podcasts are intended for new Linux users. Listening and learning about Linux and open source might be a good change from listening to depressing talk radio.

Three Cool Videos: PC, Mac, or Linux?

without comments

OpenSource is all about freedom. So listen and make your choice. Is there a “free” option available to you that will serve your needs? I think so, but go ahead and buy stuff. Getting in your car, driving to Best Buy or Staples, listening to someone who wants to sell you something, and forking out big bucks for software strangely seems easier than clicking and downloading. Very interesting! Anyway, check out these videos.

New Linux and Ubuntu Videos

Check out these cool new videos. These are two great tools to introduce Linux and particularly the Ubuntu operating system. What a great way to start getting more attention for Linux distros and free/libre open source software (FOSS).
