OpenLindows.com: Wherefore Art Thou?

Posted by timothy on from the apt-get-transparent dept.

Joe Barr writes "I ran across a curious website recently: OpenLindows.com. The name alone intrigued me. It gave rise to speculation about a weird mix of free-as-in-beer and free-as-in-speech alternative to the $99/year Click-N-Run software subscription offered by LindowsOS, the most Windows-like/proprietary Linux distribution out there. This is a report on what I found, and perhaps even more importantly, what I didn't."

    "Basic literacy, you know?"

    Yeah because wherefore is in such common use in modern dialect. It's a pity that people think the word 'where' means 'where' instead of 'why' these days. Ignorant fools, they should get off their embiggened asses and study an extinct style of communication.
