Why is Linux good for me ?

Prof. S. Parthasarathy

• Free software (e.g. Linux) stands for freedom and liberty. It does not have the restrictions imposed by the licenses from software from commercial and greedy businessmen. It gives one and all, an equal and fair opportunity. No invisible handcuffs, fetters, and chains, to straitjacket you, and make you a helpless slave.
• MS is fliMSy and cluMSy,
  and has a pathetic record of security. Only huts are made of dung and clay. Forts are built with stone and concrete.
• Do you know the Perils of using MS-Office ?
• BBC reports the serious consequences of using MS-Office.
• Linux believes in letting you enjoy the jokes and the joker.
  Don't miss the movie !
• Linux is endorsed by professionals who have no vested interests.
• Linux makes economic sense. Yes, Really ! (This is a pdf file).
  Although the free in Free Software like Linux, implies "liberty" and not "gratis", the "Total cost of ownership" of Linux is much lesser than MS ! This aspect, makes Linux particularly attractive for academic institutions and intellectuals (who are not always part of the economically papmpered tribe). Products which these people make, are naturally superior to those made by greedy, short- sighted swindlers.
• Who uses Linux ?

• If all this does not convince you .....

  You must read this clinching argument with evidence.

• I am convinced. Where do I start ?

  Here !
  and then..... take your first steps

• Enjoy !
