"In my last post, I was overflowing with praise for the value of Ubuntu for the non-profit world and said I'd discuss 'how Ubuntu works' in this entry. Well 'how' is beyond my technical expertise and is undoubtedly a complex dance of 0s and 1s and static electricity. What I meant was a little less technical and more practical... just the joy of using it. After working for years in social services, the concept that software should be free, that people the world over should be able to have access to a base level of technology that will level the playing field for communications and potentially e-commerce is a value I share. I once set up a voice mail system for homeless people to maintain communication with their families and physicians based around this philosophy. This is great stuff...!"
