Great write up, Al! :)

Very nice article. Always nice to see a Windows house go to Linux.

Speaking of windoze house going to Linux. My local library has installed RH9 onto their public comps. I asked one of the techy guys there, and he mentioned that it was a LOT easier to deal with, especially with all the spyware that windoze still allows into the computers. Besides, after a short time, people dont even notice the difference ;)
Mind you, gnome wouldnt have been my WM of choice ;) |
Thanks for all the kind words, everyone. I appreciate it.
I wrote the piece in about 20 minutes, got paid $100 for it, and it was published yesterday. It was a bit longer and more detailed but they edited the hell out of... their dime so they can do what they want! They signed me to a contract to provide more content for them so if anyone has a story just let me know. (Don't be impressed... anyone with a few writing credits (or just a good story-pitch) can work for NF... it's not exactly Time or Newsweek :-)) BTW, not to brag but just FYI, I also write for Inc. Magazine's site: http://www.inc.com/articles/2005/01/opensource.html http://www.inc.com/articles/2005/02/opensource.html http://www.inc.com/articles/2005/02/adware.html http://www.inc.com/articles/2005/05/webservices.html I also write on the publishing biz: http://asaturdayrant.blogspot.com/ I'm trying to position myself away from being an 'expert' on publishing (which I've been writing on the past ten years since I own a publishing company) and more as as a 'pundit' and 'commentator' on Linux and FOSS as this is an area that very much interests me. No one wants to hire an almost 60 year old guy to write code*... my first love... but they seem willing to read his articles and hear him speak. Maybe if I learn Hindi I could extend my programming career :-) <g> Al Canton Adams-Blake Company, Inc. ___________________________________________ Jaya123 is the web-based 'back office' solution for small business.
