A friend of mine alerted me to an article about Linux moving into the big time. With all the talk of Linux in the news, people are getting curious about it and since I use Linux, I get asked questions. Recently a friend asked why one should use Linux instead of Windows. I pointed out that it’s not necessarily for everyone. I’m not so presumptious as to believe that just because I think it’s a superior option that everyone should.

Linux is free, open source, extremely configurable and stable. If none of those items provide you with a desire to try it out, then maybe it’s not for you. I will continue to use it because it suits my needs, but you need to find something that works for you, not me.
