freedoms:comment:0. The freedom to run the program, for any purpose.  1. The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs.

The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

The value proposition is the ability to write an application without having to worry about the plumbing."
palm0:comment:in eltoday article, Palmisano, COO of IBM talked about Linux: 'He said Linux is the key to the grail of ubiquitous connectivity -- portability across various types of systems and infrastructures -- that the IT industry has been seeking for several decades and first tasted with the explosion of Internet technologies.

ready1:comment:If you are not just seeking a free Windows, if you are not just looking to join the latest cool thing, you may be ready for Linux.
notready1:comment:The hackers and programmers of open source are trailblazers. (I am not referring to the vandals that the airheads on television and other clueless journalists mistakenly call hackers). These trailblazers hack through the tangled barriers that are deliberately or carelessly placed in the way of computer users by commercial interests. They also hack their way to new territory, sometimes for commercial interests, and open new vistas for the rest of us to explore.
notready2:comment:Closed source carefully re-erects the tangles and barriers so that each programmer passing that way must take the time and effort to clear their own path again. Open source leaves the code as a sort of trail marker so the next programmer can take it a bit further without the waste of repeated work. Each builds upon the past instead of repeating it. The way is marked with documentation that explains to us non-coders how to use the code the trailblazers and programmers have built.
notready3:comment:You will need to read this documentation if you expect to make the most of the system. At the current pace of change, soon, perhaps, everywhere you want to go with Linux will be a well-paved avenue. But not yet. You still need a little pioneering spirit to get some places you are likely to want to go.
notready4:comment:That's why the documentation doesn't just deal with decoration and icon placement. It includes information for the next programmer as well as for the user. If you want to travel off the main highways, you are expected to read some of this documentation. Complaining about the pavement does not help.
notready5:comment:It seems those who complain the most are those who have always used a computer with Windows pre-installed and have never taken the trouble to venture outside of mouse-clicking. Tell them, "Stay with Windows. Wait for Bill's next release, then buy it." When they complain that Linux needs to be easier or is too much trouble, I remind them that nobody twisted their arm or spent a few hundreds of millions of dollars to persuade them to use it or engaged in predatory practices to force it on their computer.

relevance:comment:Consider, for a moment, the condition of the Internet if Microsoft suddenly disappeared along with all of its products. The Internet would blink. But it would continue. It would, perhaps, for a while resemble a shopping mall late at night when the crowds thin and the remaining folks enjoy some unusual space and quiet. Now think of the Internet if all free software suddenly disappeared. The Internet would simply cease to exist. So tell me, do we "need" Microsoft?

The alien rushes up to the front door and rings the bell to warn him that his house is aflame, fire licking under the eaves of the roof already.

So this fellow with his golf clubs opens the front door only to find this small blue fellow frantically
fart3:comment:tap-dancing and farting out a warning to beat the band. "Hey! Yo, Dude! Yer House is on Fire!!!" tap-tap. phfft. phfft. tap. The Householder brains him with a golf club. I think Gates and cohorts must be little aliens from this planet (or learned software design and litigation skills in that language). Because that's all I've seen from them in the antitrust case, in their marketing, and in their products.
fart4:comment:Just a bunch of incomprehensible tap dancing and farting. Ergo: Gates is a 3-foot tall dwarf alien with blue skin who practices communications and public relations and litigation (and systems design) by tap-dancing and farting.

rfs:comment:Subject: Re: Does reiserfs really meet the "Linux-2.4.x patch submission policy"? From: torvalds@transmeta.com (Linus Torvalds) Date: 16 Jan 2001 12:25:33 -0800 ... If I were you, I'd worry more about the blk-patches from Jens, but hey've been around for a long time, and Alan also put them in his tree. Which makes them as safe as any patch we've seen. So I took the approach that "we'll obviously have to put this _somewhere_ in 2.4.x". But that is, at least to me, a potentially bigger worry than reiserfs.

allchin:comment:Jim Allchin, microsoft's windoze operating-system chief, 2001-02-15, "Open source is an intellectual-property destroyer. I can't imagine something that could be worse than this for the software business and the intellectual-property business." ... "I'm an American, I believe in the American Way. I worry if the government encourages open source, and I don't think we've done enough education of policy makers to understand the threat."

balmer1:comment:2000/07/31 in The Register, 'Balmer wanted "to emphasise the competitive threat, and in some senses the competitive opportunity, that Linux represents. Linux is a tough competitor. There's no company called Linux, there's barely a Linux road map. Yet Linux sort of springs organically from the earth. And it had, you know, the characteristics of communism that people love so very, very much about it. That is, it's free."
balmer2:comment:2000/07/31 in The Register, Balmer - "...I think we have a real opportunity to, if you will, push back into some of the markets that have been real Linux strongholds. But Linux has too, with its free price point, and the fact that it runs on the same hardware we do, so we have no hardware advantage versus Linux, which we do tend to have with some of our other competitors, it certainly is something very, very much on our radar screen."

dumb2:comment:dumb myth #2:"Linux needs 100% compatibility with Microsoft Office." -- Why? Are Ford engines 100% compatible with Chevy? It's the task that's important, not the tool. There is software for Linux that already accomplishes every common office environment task with at least as much ease as m$ software, and in many cases, with greater ease. This software is not susceptible to the whims of m$ marketing, nor is it altered by the maker just to use it as a weapon to damage competitor products.

miller2:comment:2001-01-31, Doug Miller, M$ group product manager for competitive strategies, claimed IDC numbers show "Linux growth in server OS share has been flat for two quarters, and Unix and Novell continue to fall." IDC manager Al Gillen, "We're just finalizing our report for Linux right now, and haven't released those numbers to the press or the public so I can't comment on specifics. But I can tell you that according to our preliminary forecast, Linux is moving along nicely. It is certainly not fading away."

racket:comment:anonymous Linux Today talkback: What service has Microsoft been providing that has been making them so much money? Answer: Microsoft has been in the protection business. Their "value proposition" has been "Pay us, or you can't work on a PC", and "Pay for our upgrade, to protect yourself from something that might happen." The "something that might happen" has included, at various times, incompatibility, loss of data, inability to share data with one's peers, and so on.
