Linux.com

After reading this blog about cnr and linux. I have to say a few words. I own a computer shop outside an area in Massachusetts. Most of the community here is either poor or just scratching the basics into machines. One common thing I find with most of the 85 percent of Americans is that Linux is not user friendly because of certain reasons. One reason is that most techs who know linux will not try to attempt to make a universal standard of a windows like system to ween people off all the costly os's out there. Now Linspire to me is the first type of company that actually is trying to help to common person who has no patience to learn. Also this is the best marketing strategy. Another thing, I find everyone yells stay free on software distribution however people who research or work need money for food. So its worth a measly 50 bucks a year for some attempt to support the common person. I recently downloaded freespire and was impressed since now I can see an actual Linux system that is not too nerdy and basic. I'm already introducing it to my consumers. All they need is support with not an attitude. One thing ma bey someone should consider who knows linux is to become patient and willing to lower his or herself in order to help someone else become free from other os's. Microsoft is popular only because of this. I have a funny feeling in 2 years Linspire will be the first to have a fully functional system because the numbers of people who like the windows like features. Microsoft sued them only because they are a threat. Remember that..
