Are you tired of Windows crashes, spyware, viruses, and vendor lock-in? Are you frustrated with licensing fees and software activation demands? Are you dreading the arrival of Windows Vista, with its increased hardware requirements? Are you willing to try something different?
Linux is a free and open-source operating system that has seen tremendous growth in the past several years. Linux is stable, secure, and very powerful. It is also has tremendous capabilities, far beyond those available with other operating systems. I believe that Linux has arrived as a viable option for most people. That is the Linux reality.
Linux Reality is a podcast aimed at the new Linux user. The episodes start from the very beginning, and take it slowly. It helps Windows and Macintosh users learn about the history of Linux, the importance of the principles of free and open-source software, and the exciting Linux community. It also aids users in understanding the differences between Linux distributions and helps people with choosing the right distribution with which to experiment. The podcast demonstrates how users can try Linux without disturbing their Windows operating system at all, and also walks people through a Linux distribution installation for those that choose to take a more permanent step. In short, the show explains how it works — in plain, simple, and non-geek terminology.
This podcast is for you. Join the adventure to a new computer reality — the Linux Reality.
