PC Computing: Letters to the Editor

“This Guy Loves Linux”. A Linux advocate corrects PC Computing’s
statements about Linux.

“Lindquist doesn’t mention scalability, performance gains, or
any of the other concrete advantages Linux has over NT. Moreover,
Lindquist barely touches on the major installation differences
between the two Linux operating systems. My favorite part of the
article? “It’s wise to dabble with freeware Linux before you throw
money at either of these commercial versions.” Uh, Chris, you can
download Caldera OpenLinux and RedHat Linux free from either
vendor’s Web site. That’s what GNU is all about.”
