Novell Marketing Video for Linux playing on the
popular Mac vs PC videos.
What is Linux? See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux
Some points for Linux off the top of my head:
- Free (as in speech). I have the freedom to tweak
the system as I wish.
- DRM Free
- Superior method of software updates,
installation
- Solid stability (servers I run have been up for
1+yrs, my desktop 1+ month)
- Can scale down to very old/obscure hardware (I
have a Linux file server running an old 266, 24MB
ram
- Virtually Spyware/Virus free
- Variety of system tools not available in
Windows. Extensive programming interface.
- Very cool eye-candy ahead of other Operating
systems. Youtube search "compiz", see the upcoming
KDE, see the current version of Gnome.
- I know exactly what my computer is doing. Can't
say the same thing with Windows, OS X
- Although I agree gaming is lacking, I personally
don't game on PC but what I do see is the amazing
benefit of being able to have access to the
thousands of OSS packages out there.
- Luxury of using technology backed up by
contributions and usage by companies such as IBM,
HP, Sun, Google, many governments, military orgs,
NASA, universities, super computer research.
Outside the desktop Windows presence is not the
greatest.
- Constant updates to all my software. You can
choose to run cutting edge or run stable.
- Ability to decide what to install and what not
to (can't say the same thing about XP)
- Freedom of not depending on one single vendor. I
know my needs will not be put aside by the needs
of a corporation anytime soon.
- Decades of solid tested UNIX (like) technology
(see OS X benefits, not XP though)
- The ability take a part in the development
process of the OS I use.
- Oh, did I mention it's free as in beer?

| Fedora Linux on PS3 w/ Voiceover |
 |
This the same as my first vid of Fedora Linux on
the PS3, but for all those with questions, I
decided to do a version of the video with full
voiceover explanations. And Ebay believes
installing open source software on an open
platform (as is stated on Sony's site) is a
"copyright violation". Apparently they don't
understand open source...so my auction of this
unit was cancelled without notification. Thanks,
Ebay...

| Greg Kroah Hartman on the Linux Kernel |
 |
Google Tech Talks
June, 5 2008
ABSTRACT
The Linux Kernel, who is developing it, how they
are doing it,
and why you should care.
This talk describes the rate of development for
the Linux
kernel, and how the development model is set up
to handle such a
large and diverse developer population and huge
rate of change.
It will detail who is doing the work, and what
companies, if
any, are sponsering it. Finally, it will go into
why companies
like Google, and any other that uses or depends
on Linux, should
care about this development. Lots of numbers and
pretty graphs
will be shown to keep the audience awake.
Speaker: Greg Kroah Hartman
Greg Kroah-Hartman is a Linux kernel maintainer
for the USB,
driver core, sysfs, and debugfs portions of the
kernel as well
as being one half of the -stable kernel release
team. He
currently works for Novell as a Fellow doing
various kernel
related things and has written a few books from
O'Reilly about
Linux development in the past.
