 This choice exists on Windows to.

That's exactly what I meant :) You can either use Windows or FreeBSD,
or something else and still benefit from the same software. 

 The core windows OS can be very stable 
 (just needs configured correctly, not hard
 just takes more then a average Joe). I personally use OO 2.0, Firefox, 
 and Thunderbird (as does my wife) over IE
 except in those very rare cases where a site is IE only. Avast is hands 
 down the best Windows based AV there is and
 it is free (for home use) too.
 
 No need to. Just wait for unix desktop environments to become mature
 enough to be widely usable.
   
 
 Define mature enough?

It can be said it's mature when you have consistent desktop environment
that handles all subsystems for various components of operating system
and hardware running it. So far each desktop (mainly KDE and Gnome)
differ too much in basic areas to write a single piece of code that
fits in both of them. Also, they have different approach to hardware
interaction (scanners poorly supported, for instance), and they're
way too slow on older boxes (not all machines are modern Intel P4).

 I think its more the add on software that needs to 
 mature more then the OS and GUI environment.

Agreed. 

 One of the issues I find with OSS is there are to many options.

Yes, it's great advance and obstacle at once.

 Since 
 there is not this one app for all monolithic force in
 OSS, how do you get people to try something new, even if it would work 
 very well for them? The Linux Live CD's
 help alot.

Thank you very much :)

 I am constantly amazed how 
 many Biodiesel list members are involved with Open Source software.

I think it is mostly because biodiesel homebrewing and open source have
(among many others) one thing in common - it attracts people with wide
horizons, curious of something new and interesting.

 developers to standardise the way that Linux is seen by programs, so the old

Yes, many initiatives has been founded in the last 1-2 years focused

2005-10-29 Thread Doug Foskey

Wrong! Try a live CD (I would suggest Mepis, which is downloadable using M$ 
wonderful system if you wish, from a link given on Mepis.org, ). This will 
load off the CD drive,  run on your computer. It will not affect the 
harddisc unless you tell it to. 
 If you do try this, I think you will see that the general operation is very 
similar to that commercial operating system, and there is generally very 
little problem configuring the system. (There are provisos tho: some hardware 
eg Winmodems, that are not always detected. Some programs away from the 
mainstream may require a little gigging to get working: an example could be 
one I have seen: Qcad, a CAD program available for Linux, which I had to 
Google an issue with printer configuration to find out how to fix, but this 
was an extreme case.) Also the help is now very good, and help is available 
for even the most esoteric problem you find - sometimes better than 
Commercial programs- occasionally the original software developer will answer 
a query put on a Help list. 

So, please try it! I really think it is worth the effort.

regards Doug

If anyone has had difficulties loading a distro, I'd like to make a high 
recommendation for Ubuntu.

My company just gave us new Dell D610 laptops and the latest Ubuntu 
loaded right up! I'm very impressed with this distro! Formerly I had run 
run Debian on the old laptop. I currently run Mandrake 9.1 at home and 
will upgrade to Ubuntu when I get back.

My home PC is strictly Linux.

Actually, give Ubuntu a try. It's a no brainer. You can set it to dual 
boot real easy. And it works on my company's laptop that has the 
'latest' video drivers. I did have to hunt for a suitable distro since 
the current debian couldn't start X, but Ubuntu does!

My win2k box runs Firefox with 100+ at times with little issue aside 
Firefox's memory leak. Windows (any ver)
used by someone who has little to no clue how to secure it and make it 
purr along will result in what we have:
Massive network issues from worms, Fraud, and Theft. I personally 
welcome id10t users as i am a  tech and I
make the bulk of my money from said users. I also offer classes on how 
to use a pc and keep your self clean.
Even the minor of steps goes a very long way for windows security and

Just my $0.02, inflation has devalued to $0.005

 Looks like Midori's address has been forged over the net and used to
 send out some virus/bug/spyware/whatever. It happens all the time
 all over the network. Oh, those spammers... :(

Using linux does a whole lot of good, but
it doesn't cure colds (yet) and it doesn't
stop other folks from forging your return
address. Lotta reasons to go to Linux,
but this isn't really among'em.

It doesn't really matter. If one of your addresses is publicly available
(either on a website or mailing list archives) it will be abused this
way sooner or later. I use Linux and FreeBSD all the time and it
happened to me too (several times). Naturally, using Windows mail
readers exposes you more due to impact the mail worms and viruses have
on internet these days, but just using Linux is not an ultimate solution.

It helps, but trust me as much as I like it - Linux is not immune.
