Here’s another Linux backgrounder about the “ragtag army of
rebels that uses Linux rather than a Microsoft operating system to
run their desktop computers” from an outsider’s perspective that
nevertheless says no matter how “daunting” and “scary” Linux and
its community of users may be, people had “better get used to
it.”
Some interesting things it draws the casual observer’s attention
to include:
- reliability
- the presence of Linux in embedded systems (like the TiVO)
- cost savings
- code availability with Open Source software
- some links San Diego area Linux users may find useful
