Hey folks, chances are if your reading this you have a computer. LOL, yeah I know, you can stop all the mummerings about “Dick Tracy, Columbo, and Sherlock Homes” now. I’ll even go further with my statement and say that you are most likely running a Microsoft Windows operating system. Well I have an alternative you may want to try. I have been forced to switch because my Windows laptop…well died.<\/p>\n
Linux—- I will say it phonetically “Lin – icks”. It’s nothing new really, you can read all about it on the big WWW, there are different distributions (Fedora, Suse, Mandrake, etc.) So I won’t go into all that. I will tell you that it is a very stable, and versitile operating system, and for me a life saver. <\/p>\n
I easily do all the tasks I did on ‘Windoze’, and more. The only thing I miss is an application suite called Macromedia Studio MX, but hey I can still do everything it does…just have to do it by hand. I can even use terminal services client to remotely connect to my XP pro box at home if I just have to have something off of windows.<\/p>\n
I have used Linux for my server needs for some time, and played with it on my older laptop for a while…but now I am very comfotable using it. Using a program called ‘wine’ you can even run some windows software on your Linux machine. <\/p>\n
None the less, if you’ve got an old PC that is about to be thrown out or you just want give that old PC a new life..then Linux can do that. Besides, you can learn a few things in the transition.<\/p>\n
Check out Linux and let me know what you think.<\/p>\n
Later & good luck,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
