One thing I like about Linux is that you don't feel dumb while running it.
It respects your intelect (unlike Windows) and instead of concentrating
too much on the user interface, gets the important things done.
I had a question. How can one look at LINUX source code? Is it available
on the web? Also, do you think free software is generally better in
performance compared to copyrighted software?
