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.

Drivers maybe, but any more user friendly and Linux will become Windows, the
intensity of windows graphical interface, code obesity and profit driven
shortcuts in development are it's downfall and Linux developers should stay
well away from these. I run Caldera and win98, win only for compatibility,
if anyone is interested. But hey I'm only 15 so go easy on me...

I think you are correct. However, the basic model of Windows vs Linux
is fundamentally different.  Windows source code is not available free
(as far as I know).  The power users, I assume like youself, will
still be able to get under the hood of Linux and tweak it.  If there
is anything that you don't like about your Linux system you have the
option to fix it.  In windows if you don't like something you are
basically S.O.L.

F.Y.I.  I run Redhat 6.0 and Win98, Win only for compatibiliy,
and   I'm old!! around 40!! Go easy on me, I'm brittle... :o)

Although the code of windows is rather large Linux code is very different
and will never be as resource hogging as windows will. Its code is based on
an entirely different and much more efficient system than windows.
Although Linux will be approximately 20 percent larger with each version
released with the current to date technology will run Linux as easily then,
in the near future, as it runs on a 100 mhz machine now.
Linux will always have its distinct advantages to windows. The graphical
interface now is eqivalent to that of windows 95 and 98 in some cases i have
seen. IT RUNS 10 THOUSAND TIMES BETTER!!!!

Rob i think that u need to understand the Linux code frst before u make any
harsh Judgments. The concept of linux is much better and it will prevail.
No offense:)
