Showing why it's better


I'm looking for Linux experts or such to help me build a website that is designed to help people switch from MS Windows and Apple Mac to Linux.

With the recent development of the "BIG BROTHER" deal that has started in the US, Canada and UK, it's important that people get away from a branded OS from large corperations. With the government watching keywords on your computer and internet activity, it's even more important to get away from MS Windows and Apple Mac as soon as possible. It's already been said that new computers will be built with Government tracking to tell you what you can and cannot have installed on your computer. Gateway is already doing this.

I want to get the word out. There is a solution, it's called Linux. This isn't a paid job, it's just something you would help me with out of the kindness of your heart to help others in need.

It's expected a full launch of "Big Brother" in about 2 to 3 years. Microsoft is already making a service pack for all NTFS operating systems to have a built in program to monitor your avtivity. This means it will also not allow the use of Peer to Peer Networks and some voice chat software. Even IRC will be not allowed in the update.

Microsoft doesn't control it, the government does.

I think your points would be more convincing if you can provide some links to the source of the information. But from what I have read some time before, are you talking about Trusted Computing?

My point is that people need to understand that their privacy is at stake.

It is a hard to belive issue.
I am setting up my Apache server to host the web site.
Currently at southsideweb.zapto.org
