Page 1 of 15 What I hope to show you here is that there is an alternative to running
Microsoft Windows. And that if you have the persistence and curiosity
to explore, that a whole new frontier can open up to you.One alternative among many alternative operating systems is Linux. This will be the operating system I will be focusing on here. Why am I focusing on Linux? Mainly because it was the operating system that I accidentally stumbled across at Best Buy for $9. It was a toss up between Caldera Linux at $9 and FreeBSD at $30 about 4 or 5 years ago. Who knows where I would be now if I had chosen FreeBSD instead. Later on in this article I will show you how you can get Linux "legally" for the cost of a blank CD-R and a little bit of effort on your part. When they say "free" they literally mean "free". Not five-finger discount free. But not so free that you wouldn't need to pay the guy that burned your CD for you or put it into a fancy box with a nice printed manual. It cost money to package it and support the product they put their name onto. |
