the popular Mac vs PC videos.
What is Linux? See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux
Some points for Linux off the top of my head:
- Free (as in speech). I have the freedom to
tweak the system as I wish.
- DRM Free
- Superior method of software updates,
installation
- Solid stability (servers I run have been up
for 1+yrs, my desktop 1+ month)
- Can scale down to very old/obscure hardware
(I have a Linux file server running an old
266, 24MB ram
- Virtually Spyware/Virus free
- Variety of system tools not available in
Windows. Extensive programming interface.
- Very cool eye-candy ahead of other
Operating systems. Youtube search "compiz",
see the upcoming KDE, see the current version
of Gnome.
- I know exactly what my computer is doing.
Can't say the same thing with Windows, OS X
- Although I agree gaming is lacking, I
personally don't game on PC but what I do see
is the amazing benefit of being able to have
access to the thousands of OSS packages out
there.
- Luxury of using technology backed up by
contributions and usage by companies such as
IBM, HP, Sun, Google, many governments,
military orgs, NASA, universities, super
computer research. Outside the desktop
Windows presence is not the greatest.
- Constant updates to all my software. You
can choose to run cutting edge or run stable.
- Ability to decide what to install and what
not to (can't say the same thing about XP)
- Freedom of not depending on one single
vendor. I know my needs will not be put aside
by the needs of a corporation anytime soon.
- Decades of solid tested UNIX (like)
technology (see OS X benefits, not XP though)
- The ability take a part in the development
process of the OS I use.
- Oh, did I mention it's free as in beer?

| Fedora Linux on PS3 w/ Voiceover |
 |
This the same as my first vid of Fedora Linux
on the PS3, but for all those with questions,
I decided to do a version of the video with
full voiceover explanations. And Ebay
believes installing open source software on
an open platform (as is stated on Sony's
site) is a "copyright violation". Apparently
they don't understand open source...so my
auction of this unit was cancelled without
notification. Thanks, Ebay...

| Greg Kroah Hartman on the Linux Kernel |
 |
Google Tech Talks
June, 5 2008
ABSTRACT
The Linux Kernel, who is developing it, how
they are doing it,
and why you should care.
This talk describes the rate of development
for the Linux
kernel, and how the development model is set
up to handle such a
large and diverse developer population and
huge rate of change.
It will detail who is doing the work, and
what companies, if
any, are sponsering it. Finally, it will go
into why companies
like Google, and any other that uses or
depends on Linux, should
care about this development. Lots of numbers
and pretty graphs
will be shown to keep the audience awake.
Speaker: Greg Kroah Hartman
Greg Kroah-Hartman is a Linux kernel
maintainer for the USB,
driver core, sysfs, and debugfs portions of
the kernel as well
as being one half of the -stable kernel
release team. He
currently works for Novell as a Fellow doing
various kernel
related things and has written a few books
from O'Reilly about
Linux development in the past.
