It can save a system from being compromised due to other services which are either weaker, or poorly configured. Taking some time to get SELinux working properly in ones production environment (if that system is important) is more than worth the time it takes to read up on it. Being a lazy sys admin rarely pays off in the long run.
Yah well, Nvidia is the lesser of the two evils... learned that before I left Windows. Talk with your dollars, it's the only language these companies understand.
Please don't spread FUD, of if you're serious, please give useful details. Google and other companies have downloadable binaries, so I know it's possible. You should be able to develop on a machine that adheres to the Linux Standard Base and have that run other places without a problem.
why these guys should be kept alive? Not only are they not contributing to society, they are actively trying to take things away from society, apparently solely for their own benefit.
Although my attorney assures me that reselling gift certificates bought from AllOfMP3.com isn't breaking any laws, it isn't worth the possibility of engagement with their legal machine
I would love to see how the astroturfers here spin this, go on.
At this point doing things the RIAA doesn't like is basically necessary civil disobedience.
If all the reasons require that people even know what Linux is, and most people don't know what Linux is, the reasons aren't worth mentioning.
The average user is so frustrated Windows, they can't understand that computing could be easier.
The writer didn't at all mention how Ubuntu's install system is geeky. How can a system capable of automatically, and non-interactively update your entire machine be more geeky than Windows update... the update system that happily installs updates to remove functionality.
Or I would suggest simply boycotting these idiotic record industry people. But of course, the little guys need to put food on the table for their families, so this makes this non workable.
Come on dude. The machines are _supposed_ to be designed to be regularly used for reading text. 800x600 is good enough, but unless you want a new generation of kids wearing glasses, why do such a thing?

I know. Hence, the suggestion.
Don't use a demon possessed baby in the advertisements.
You never hear stories of angels going down to hell to spruce things up, do you?
LAMP solutions _need_ SELinux. I'll explain if you want.

Microsoft is here to save the day. Two down, hundreds to go. Who will be next? Keep tuned.

Even I noticed that one.
The LiveCDs aren't CDs?

Don't buy new albums, and don't download their albums. Try it for a year. You should be able to survive that long.

things against Windows, forever and ever? How about a Mac, or something else? Or nothing at all, and see something on its own merits.
Remember, Microsoft essentially pays to have it's OS on OEM machines. It is a negative cost: the only thing free can't always compete with.
so open source developers don't get paid?

Reminds me of why I stopped checking them.

Then you need to learn how to ask questions better.
illegal != bad
did you even consider the consequences of what you are suggesting?

fair enough
Like what? What service can Google roll out to complete with your internet service provider? And I'm referring to paid services.
