Are You Ready for Linux?


You will need M$ Windoze if you visit a lot of the online games that use windoze specific features and won't run on anything else, or are involved with projects that are proprietary to windows-then of course you still will need windoze on a separate partition.

There is another way, young Skywalker.

You can set up your computer to boot up Linux OR M$ Windoze.

It's called a Dual Boot system. When you start your computer, You have the choice to boot it to Windoze or Linux, but not both at once.


If all you do is read and write email (mozilla), -there is even a
shockwave plugin for .swf files for mozilla/netscape/firefox Browsers.

The 2 best browsers currently on earth, Firefox, Opera, both have linux versions available.

Or read a pdf file now and then (Kghostview)

Convert a M$ .doc file (OpenOffice)

Listen to .mp3 or .ogg files (Totem)

Watch Video (Kaffeine)

Manipulate graphical files (The Gimp)

Need to burn CD's, DVD's? (Gcombust)

Then your covered with Linux and may not need a usefully frustrating troublesome OS like Windoze at all. You might want to download a copy of Debian Stable Release. Or, if you prefer simplicity, Linspire OS which is based on Debian Linux but has the added feature of installing software programs with the click of a mouse, provided you have DSL or other “High Speed” internet connection.

If you like Linux and really want to learn it, the Rolls Royce of Linux is Debian. It is a great group of people, and you will never run out of projects to work on. http://debian.org/

Using BitTorrent, there was at one point in time, a way to get Linspire OS http://linspire.com/ for $25.00

Join the "Click and run Warehouse" for another $50.00 -get all the software they offer for one year, installed on your computer
via a high speed connection with a simple click of your mouse.

The software is
yours to use, even if the Click and Run subscription expires later.

Here is the Kicker:

One copy of Linspire OS is all you need to have for ALL of the computers you own.

Ditto the "Click and Run Warehouse"

I trust you will do what is correct for you.
