Time to Try a Linux Desktop?
bigbadwlf writes "EWeek has an opinion column, posted yesterday titled, Isn't Now the Time to Try a Linux Desktop? Quote: 'The crackers currently have the whip hand over Windows, and Microsoft's assertion that Internet Explorer is now part of the operating system shows its flawed reasoning. Worried sick about the latest rash of Internet Explorer security problems? I have the perfect solution for you, one that's even better than switching to Mozilla, Firefox or Opera. Switch operating systems: Go to Linux.'"
What's that? ;)
Fucking a fat girl is like riding a scooter... it's fun 'til someone sees you.
Some one is getting the picture, remove the software of shame, attach the software of triumph!

Just like the year before.
If you are really hardcore I suggest trying tron on the desktop. Now that would be something to write about!
Because Luddites read EWeek?
First, this button turns on the computer.
... we call it a key board.
Second, you use this board with letters, numbers and symbols on it to input, "type", information into the computer
Third, you move this kinf of round object here to select stuff on the screen, "moniter", which we call a mouse.
Ok, you got all of that. Good. Here's a cd with linux on it. You have to install it to use the computer. I have to go.
All kidding aside, you know that's going to happen, most of my family is that way with the ironic exception of my grandma. I think she has worked on computers since they came out. She has a box with XP on it that she rarely uses and another on that is of the pre-pentium era that she uses frequently. In her case, I think she would do better with linux than windows, but I don't think she is savvy enough to install it herself. If this is going to work, computers are going to have to be shipped with linux pre-installed and be readilly availabe.
Win4Lin = SCO Affilaited software.... Id rather take my chances with windows then sco ;)

Will those run on Linux?
Mom used to equate "Netscape" with the internet. I'd say "check this out online" and get the reply, "OK, so I dial up my Netscape?"
