Linux

I hate to get all techie, but I’ve got to say my peace. Windows sucks, and Vista sucks more than an anteater scooping out his dinner. Viruses, malware, spyware, and a credit card bill to pay for the answers. Wireless cards stop working for no reason, installations that stall, and crash and give me blue screens of death, out of the blue. Destroying important files! It ate my interview with Sammy Sudovnick, d@$%&! No matter.

Today, I purge myself of every remaining Redmond, Washington monstrosity. My new Vista computer has been free of its chains and now runs Sabayon Linux with all the cool effects of the Premium Vista at no cost. Free, that’s the beauty of Linux. My podcasting laptop, which ran godawfully slow and had problems adjusting the sound levels of a measly mp3, now runs highly intuitive, highly adjustable Ubuntu Linux. Free, I might add.

I’d say that as a Macintosh OSX fan, I should have known all along and hid from the stupidity that is Microsoft, but it’s too late and I have too many computers that can easily be adjusted to live in the free and open realm that is Linux. No fees, no contracts, and I can surf the net, I can do EVERYTHING I used to do in Windows, at no cost and no hassles.

I know I sound like an Herbalife salesman, ask me how I made the switch, but it’s true. If you are tired of slow computers, virus warnings, crashes, frankly everything that is based in and around Redmond, Washington (except for the XBox), ask me now how you can switch to Linux.

There’s a million flavors, PCLinuxOS or SuSe for newbies, Ubuntu or Fedora for beginners, Gentoo or Sabayon for experienced pros, but all of them are lightyears ahead of the painful turd that used to run my PC. Either that or you can always run a Mac.
