Why... ?
Posted on Monday 18 January 2010 - 19:20:27 | by johnWe want people to have more choice about how they use their computers. Many people don't realise they have a choice - they continue to use large and expensive software packages provided by a company owning an effective monopoly. Using Microsoft Word, Excel, etc is not a sign of technical ability / smart working or "e-knowledge". For most people, this is lack of knowledge.

What is Linux?
Posted on Thursday 01 January 1970 - 12:00:05 | by johnLinux (also known as GNU/Linux) is a computer operating system. It is one of the most prominent examples of open source development and free software; unlike proprietary operating systems such as Windows or Mac OS, all of its underlying source code is available to the public for anyone to freely use, modify, and redistribute.
