Novell Linux, Mac, PC

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?

So we can't say anything is crap unless we can make it ourselves? Your logic is extremely flawed.

windows can do a lot more than u or i think, linux is too complicated and mac is simple, good and useful however like linux macs are very unsupported when it comes to software vendors. i go with pc. they are the best.

i wanna see you create an operating system, don't say crap because you don't know how to use a computer

Linux is the best operating system and Windows the worst

I'm actually using Ubuntu Linux right now and I prefer it to windows as a family computer. It actually proves less buggy than Windows, Cheaper than a Mac(and just as secure). Plus its faster than Windows on the same machine, proof: I can copy files to an external usb2.0 drive at about 5mb/s on Vista. Ubuntu copied the same files to the same drive at about 11mb/s. In other words it made better use of ram and processor and doubled my write speed. I could go on but im out of characters to post.

Wikipedia it for more information. Linux is most often run on supercomputers and servers. It has a wide range of support for hardware platforms (PPC, x86(-64), and IA-64 to name a few) and the majority of software present for it is free. The most popular distribution currently is Ubuntu, for which I have my old Feisty Fawn desktop posted here.

Novell was parodying Apple's "Mac vs PC" commercials which don't make sense themselves.

linux is great but you have to have patience and computer knowledge. That is changing however, more and more regular users are adopting it as it becomes more friendly. It's even shipping with some computers now stock. Linux is not ready yet for the average user, but it's getting real close. Ppl should watch when they say that linux is pure garbage, considering they use it a lot, every day without knowing it. "Garbage as a desktop system" might be acceptable to say
