Hi Jacob, Great job! I think some of the points could be made even stronger with some numbers...
~ Software Availability ~ Perhaps you could list the number of software packages available in Ubuntu (Run `apt-cache stats`). ~ Help Availability ~ "Since the Linux community has been around for a while..." could be re-written as "Since the Linux community has been around for over 17 years..." -Tom | -----Original Message----- | From: Vermont Area Group of Unix Enthusiasts [mailto:[email protected]] On | Behalf Of Jacob Torrey | Sent: Sunday, December 21, 2008 9:24 AM | To: [email protected] | Subject: Linux Article Feedback | | Hello List Lurkers! | | I have been asked to co-author a newspaper column in the Valley News | comparing Linux and Windows using the following categories: | | * Bang for your buck | * Learning Curve | * Compatibility | * Software Availability | * Help Availability | * Security | | I'm supposed to write a paragraph about each, and the other author will | do the same, then I get a 1 sentence rebuttal to each of his paragraphs | and vice versa. I'm asking for feedback on my rough draft paragraphs | (attached). Any feedback would be great. | | Jacob
