  1. Linux is great by lithiumfox · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I was using Knoppix the other day, and i mean, it has come a long way, so has linux. 5 mins and boot into linux on the go? could you do that with windows? im not sure if you could, but just having that ability is great. IBM seems like a leader in the movement to convert to linux, but i know that dell has a linux developement unit. I mean, if IBM changes the world thinks about opearting systems (or atleast the ones that use windows), then maybe we freed from the grip of microsoft.
