We all know that windows has its reign over the OS market.

But like many great empires they all come to an end.
for example the Aztecs, romans and the british empires were all great but
there time must come.

Windows charges ridiculously high prices for bug filled software. Linux is
the answer to the abusive reign of windows. linux, still in its very early
stages is the key to lower the prices and the monopoly of the OS market
occupied by microsoft.

We as linux users must spread the word and make it more user friendly than
windows and more easily distributed than it already is.
We must design drivers, programs and highly customizable GUI's for it.

Compatibility is the key along with user friendlyness.
Linux started by the posting on newsgroups now the advancements can be made
as we advance linux into a new era and make it the next king of the OS
market.

This message needs to be posted everywhere and displayed everywhere
possible.
Be loyal to linux and do not be taken for a sucker by microsoft.

If you are interested in this new movement sweeping the computer world. U
can help by writing drivers, programs etc
If u are an experienced or a begginer to linux we can still use your help.

I must say  that I agree.  Spread the word!

  I am new to Linux and I am having a tough go of it but if it were
not for the fact that I am so unhappy with microsoft products I would
not be so enthused about Linux.  The more I learn about Linux the more
I like it.

One thought that I had was: I think Microsoft should/could write a GUI
for Linux and let Redhat/Mandrake/Caldera etc. provide the OS.  The
latest Microsoft GUI's '98 & 2000 are pretty sweet out of the box.

Check out a web site www.eazel.com.  This company is supposed to be
made-up of the original Macintosh developers and designers.  I was
never really a Mac fan but I believe if anyone can make Linux easy to
use these guys can.

I think no matter how 'windows-like' Linux becomes the power users
will still be able to get under the hood and tinker. :o)


By the way...you wouldn't know how to setup a ppp for Freewwweb.com
would you?
