A lot of organizations of all types want support, and are willing to pay for it, and Red Hat is, at this point, built the best business model around this than any other distro ( Canonical , with Ubuntu , is sneaking up behind, but I’m not sure it has the “enterprise&# style some people look for.) 2 Brian 11.23.07 Be Helpful.

They are going to release an open source version later this year, which is wonderful, but I also would have had to pony up another $149 for a year of a Pro account, and that seemed excessive, since I could just as easily set up a Wordpress blog on the host I’m already paying for. One such platform was Typepad. Be Helpful.

I’m really interested in helping technology providers get up to speed, so that the amount of support available for nonprofits using Linux (and open source in general) increases. Ubuntu is based on Debian). If you are a provider, please feel free to email me if you want more info or help and support in moving forward.

My next step, after installing the basic Debian system, is to switch the install to Ubuntu. at 5:33 am Which Ubuntu? Then, I tried to install Ubuntu (Edgy Eft) via netboot. So I switched to the very standard ethernet PC cards that Gavin so thoughtfully included, and bingo – everything works. Edgy or a Feisty beta?

There are a number of reasons for my deciding to slowly leave the Macintosh platform: I want to focus more energy and time on free and open source platforms – I might donate what I would have spent on Leopard to some deserving projects. at 7:57 pm You make some very good points and I think I will “go Ubuntu&# too.

July 9, 2007 So I talk a lot about both open source software, and the preciousness of one’s own data. I tout the benefits of open source software. Open source projects do get better. Hopefully with nokia, openmoko, gnome, google, ubuntu, dell and some others, this gap will close. 3) Evolution.

In Kubuntu, the distribution of Ubuntu I had installed, the WPA-enabled Network Manager isn’t installed by default (or at least it seemed not to have been installed when I did it – could have been my fault.) In fact, what’s funny is that things that do in fact “just work&# with Linux almost surprise me. Be Helpful.

I’m on week 3 of my Ubuntu laptop migration – things are smoothing out – I’ve got audio working, I can listen to mp3 and audio streams. There’s been some interesting activity in the realm of women in open source. That sounded like good advice, since it might take me quite a while to get to step 1.

On the Windows side the hardware manufacturers make proprietary drivers for Windows, and very few make drivers for Linux, or open source their drivers so that Linux developers can use them. And, of course, there are some other situations where Linux also shines: kiosks, internet cafes, computer labs and email/web workstations.

For all your other desktop software needs, there’s usually a free, open-source program that can do just as good a job. The best-known include such distros as Debian , openSUSE , and Ubuntu. You’ll also need an internet connection (the faster the better) and at least 8GB of free disk space. Which Linux? And, that’s it.
