"Linus Torvalds is remarkable, not only for being the technical genius who wrote Linux, but for then being able to inspire and lead an enormous team of people to devote their free time to work on the operating system and bring it to maturity. We sent Richard Morris off to interview Linus, and find out more."

Let's have some really interesting discussion on Sunday afternoon.............

I would say without Linus Torvalds , Richard Stallman, many more Open Source Guru's ... the world wouldn't have been greater place for Computer Lovers....


"Today, 17 years later, Linux powers everything from supercomputers to mobile phones. In fact ask yourself this: if Linux didn't exist, would Google,Cisco Routers, Facebook, PHP, Apache, or MySQL?"

Here's a small chat with Master Himself

Linux Edges One Step Closer to Total World Domination

Ten Reasons why you should use windows

1-Because it comes “free” with your laptop and you might as well use it. Just like that Britney Spears single that was bundled with your CD player.
2-Money is no object to you. No problem just fork out $500, for 10% of the features you actually need. After all you can’t put a label on “quality”
3-Installing a new program is no challenge for someone like you. It merely requires enough determination to stick with it. After Next Next Next the Finish will eventually come. And hey you got a load of other “freebies” too!
4-You blindly trust corporate America, if Microsoft thinks an update is good for you then they must be right, after all they created the damn thing.
5-You are a conformist. Your idea of a perfect desktop is just like the next guy. Your taskbar should be blue and at the bottom, just like everybody else.
6-There is no problem you can’t fix. A weekly reinstall keeps everything snappy.
7-You are the ultimate born tweaker. Once you even changed the “start” on the Start menu to your name!
8-You are a “perfectionist”, an OS should take at least 7 years to develop.
9-You are a daredevil! You strive on fighting and warding off viruses.
10-You are fond of the color blue! After any new hardware installation or system tweak, you appreciate being greeted with blue screens.

 I dunno why I find this "free software" moto to the "free food" moto of the communist

i heard Linux also powers the stock market for Nasdaq i think... or the NYSE...

quite impressive..

is this the end of microsfot... vista sux so bad ... and now they wanna make windows7 based on vista platform... these guys are soo stupid...

i think if linux makes right moves it can seriously gain market share just like how Firefox came from nowehre and now has quite good share compared to IE. everyone i know uses firefox... i hardly know single person that uses IE nowadays.

Latoboy, you are right!!! but not just Nasdaq....

Here's the some list that's big in the market

Google, Facebook , Myspace, Wikipedia, Yahoo, Youtube, NASA etc.....

and 75% of all webservers (Apache) in this planet.. are on LINUX. So where there comes reliability, there comes linux.
