No One Takes Linux Seriously Until…

“Find the computer that works in the picture above.

“Yes, nobody takes Linux seriously until you are face to face
with the Blue Screen of Death, your system refuses to start, or
maybe it does, but then it goes into a never ending loop of
booting. I have never experienced anything like this in Linux. All
those critical moments become particularly nerve-racking when you
depend on your computer for turning in a vital assignment, when you
are waiting for an important document file, or the day in which you
must retrieve information that happens to be stored only inside
your HD.

“WHAT TO DO: LIVE CDs
You want to give Linux a chance but you are afraid of “not
understanding it”? Well, remember that you can RUN the Linux OS
from a CD or DVD without installing anything to your computer! All
you have to do is put it on the CD/DVD tray and run it. It’s as
simple as that. Of course, you must remember that the performance
is going to be a bit slower, but this way you can learn about Linux
without committing to a full migration until you are ready for
it.”
