Keith, I have seen the article, it is a good thing that you are trying to push Linux to the attention of the Maltese, but there are some things which I disagree with you. Linux still needs updates as it is still not yet matured enough, it still can be hacked if not installed securely and very few people really now how. And even so there is no hack proof OS. Spyware maybe still non existent on Linux systems but they still can be written for them.
I think you should more emphases the power of the OS that it is stable and software that one can use without worry about the software licenses issues, can do everything that windows can do even run windows application even if they still want to use M$ Office with wine they can do so.
