Why is Linux good for me ?

Prof. S. Parthasarathy

Make the right choice.....now.

What is free software ?

Free software (e.g. Linux) stands for freedom and liberty It does not have the restrictions imposed by the software licenses from commercial vendors and greedy businessmen. It gives one and all, an equal and fair opportunity. No invisible handcuffs, fetters, and chains, to straitjacket you, and make you a helpless slave. Discover the real meaning of free as in freedom Linux is endorsed by professionals like this who have no vested interests, and by a whole lot of people around the world. You do not need fliMSy and cluMSy software, do you ? Linux makes economic sense (yes, really) But, what is GNU/Linux ? Or, who is GNU/Linux ?

• MS is fliMSy and cluMSy,
  and has a pathetic record of security. Only huts are made of dung and clay. Forts are built with stone and concrete.
  
• Do you know the Perils of using MS-Office ?
• BBC reports the serious consequences of using MS-Office.
• The kiwis say no to Microsoft, and YES to open source.
• Winners choose open source
• A rubbish called DLL

• Linux makes economic sense. Yes, Really ! (This is a pdf file).
  Although the free in Free Software like Linux, implies "liberty" and not "gratis", the "Total cost of ownership" of Linux is much lesser than MS ! This aspect, makes Linux particularly attractive for academic institutions and intellectuals (who are not always part of the economically pampered tribe). Products which these people make, are naturally superior to those made by greedy, short- sighted swindlers.
• And it makes business sense too
• And is based on a technological masterpiece which won the world's greatest award in Computer Science
  You don't get a Nobel Prize, if you invent a bullock cart !
• The only thing MS is useful for :Wallpapers, to inspire you
• Linux believes in letting you enjoy the jokes and the joker.
  Don't miss the movie !

  Quote the awkward fact (discovered by Rafael Rivera) that it contained code borrowed from an open source project originally made available under the GPLv2. As such, Microsoft should have made the source code for its tool available, and most certainly shouldn't have offered it under the license terms it did.
  
  Microsoft also faced accusations last week that it had patented an innovation that amounted to nothing more than the extremely useful UNIX "sudo" command albeit with a GUI which has been around for at least 20 years. Unquote
