Campaigning for Linux

I read an article today about a gentleman that has found that Linux is the way to go after being infected by an internet worm. Linux has been and will be the future of computing. As he said in the article Linux has progressed in a fifth the time it has taken Microsoft to. As people begin to understand that they have an alternative to the constraints of proprietary software the world will become a much more efficient place. One thing that severely limits our growth is the lack of access to high technology. A few years ago I myself had no idea what computers did, how the internet worked or what opensource software was. I knew that there was a difference between potato chips and microchips but other than that....! Working towards spreading the opensource movement is the way America can cling to its gains in the world. I think now of how inefficient my time was and how unconnected I was. I had no internet so you had to listen to outdated news on the radio or TV or read really outdated news in a newspaper. The hunt for the yellow pages anytime I wanted a phone number of a business or my paperback address book for my acquaintances. Now with Palm pilot and PC no more looking for that stuff and no more time wasted on that although I do a lot of useless surfing now. If more people had the chance to become connected they would also see the benefits of how lightning fast they can look up information. Driving directions and gas prices are my favorites nowadays. If you are a Linux enthusiast like me, or simply want to know a little more about about it, by all means explore the subject and you will find some truly great things on the web or even at the dingy, dank and often deserted almost fabled library. You know the place with the books? No, not Borders, the library!
