Agreed. I'm always a little wary of their quest to know everything about me, even what color underwear I'm wearing..it can be a little creepy sometimes...

thebug2k5: I'm in the IT field... and i love computers and allabout u know hahaha

People here know about Linux???

About Free Software Fundation??? Richard Stallman???

About OpenSource Software???

I'm just wondering....

Yep, have used Linux, use Mozilla. And Richard stallman is helping educational institutes in a state in india to migrate from windows to Linux.Check out http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS7058002470.html

Now do me a favour and pl tell me where I can find audio drivers for my laptop that Windows Xp and HP are not supporting.

We should start an Open source group here.

Astal vista is a good search keyword for the difficult to find drivers, good luck.

OK, have a question,
windows here and I have hundreds of programs, many that I use a lot/daily are video formating, converting, DVD burning and so on...

Wouldn't it be a nightmare to replace all of these programs for linux use? if able to at all?

X5323601: Linux is a multi-tasking operating system written in the programming languages C and assembler. It is very compact, fast and stable. The reason MS Windows is more popular is because of the 3rd party software available for it.

Want more?

It also does not take up much hard drive space and is fairly straight forward. So you can use it fine on older computers.

It is sold ready loaded on some PC's such as Dell, in the UK as an alternative to either Mac or Microsoft, In the UK it is fast taking over from windows based machines, and is used in many business and government environments.
Most common software for MAC or Windows is now available in some form via the open source library.
Google is about to release a new OS to support its Chrome software, will be interesting to see how it goes.

I already read some news about Chrome test with Acer Notebook, in some test make with a seller of Acer in Japan, they show how install and run Chrome on a Dell Laptop... the news say Chrome take only 10 minutes to install and was stable even been a Beta version...

We will see what happen next...
