Freedom from the dictates of a few giant software behemoths is what we celebrate each and every time we use our computers, as well as the world of choice that comes along with that freedom.

Yes indeed, we’re free to choose the operating system we like best, free to tailor it as we see fit, free to customize it with our favorite desktop environments — and, as longtime Linux advocate Ken Starks demonstrates every day, we’re free to use Linux to help improve the lives of others.
