Linux on the Desktop

After an intensive hands-on Linux project lasting several months, I was able to provide my client with a pertinent answer to this question." I like the answer. ;-)" It's good that he covers the pitfalls he encountered; opportunities for improvement.

You will be stunned by the bang for the buck that Linux bundled free "open source" software offers.

Since Linux is free, wouldn't any amount of "bang" mean that the ratio of "bang" to "buck" is infinite? Q.E.D. Better than Windows!!! (not trolling.... well.... maybe a little bit... )

# Let user know we've started
echo "Scanning system for viruses"

# Make him think we're actually doing something!
find / -type f >> /dev/null 2> /dev/null

# Report the results
echo "No viruses found"
