“I am not a computer geek and, chances are, neither are you. I
did not go with FOSS on my own, any more than I tell clients to try
their own lawsuits or do their own brain surgery. Although loading
Linux onto your computer is now close to ‘one-click,’ the
occasional glitch — particularly with laptops — can make you feel
like a pro se litigant. Some companies, like EmperorLinux, sell
laptops preloaded with FOSS. The other option (the one I chose) was
simply to hire an expert — someone who knows what she is doing —
to put together the right platform for me.”
