Free Software Linux

If you haven’t heard, after today (June 30, 2008) you won’t be able to buy Windows XP anymore. Sure there’ll be some stealthy exceptions and ways to “get” Windows XP… but make no mistake, it’s the end of the road for this 6-year old! Vista is the next in line, right? It doesn’t have to be…

Have you given a serious consideration to SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED)? NOTE, trying Red Hat desktop, Ubuntu, OpenOffice.org (from www.openoffice.org), openSUSE or SUSE Linux Professional does not count. Expecting that experience to form an accurate opinion of SLED (or OpenOffice.org) is wrong. It doesn’t count anymore than testing a 1980 Honda hatchback (I actually had one, burnt-orange colored — what were my parent’s thinking?) serves as a valid test for a 2008 Lexus. My point is, the Linux field moves fast and the experiences which are the basis of your opinion may be outdated.

Too busy? No time for a test drive? Then take a look at this quick online demo.

Need some help in showing the powers that be that a Linux Desktop is not impossible, and what’s more it makes good financial sense? Check out this page on Novell’s website that discusses a simple path to get from Windows today to SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop. Freedom is yours for the taking!

(LASTLY… if you think it’s a travesty that Windows XP is going away, period. Perhaps you should reconsider your choice of OS in the first place… Is being on the “MS Windows treadmill” what you really want?)
