Ah Open Source...*

Wednesday, November 08, 2006 7:26:11 PM (GMT Standard Time, UTC+00:00)

Sometimes, I really, reallllllly like Open Source... They really hit the nail on its head at times. Two great examples being development of PostgreSQL (an alternative dbms to MySQL) and who can forget, The Red, Fiery Fox.

Interesting, almost all the "IT savvy" folks I know use FF. Also, I remember during my last stint at uni, using FF was the norm (that's right not IE - that was IE 6 though).

Ah Open Source..., I wonder what shall become of you.

Well, as most of the stuff with Windows has to be purchased, even down to the smallest program, it has me wondering.

Why wonder ... just switch ! Or at the very least, increase your options. There's absolutely nothing to stop you from sticking a 20 gig in your tower and running a dual boot. Come on, where's your sense of adventure?

For some reason,... probably paranoia, I think I rather set up a machine for just Open Source stuff. To be honest, that has been a desire of mine for about 5/6 years now, since "the guy down the road" (no name no blame no lock up) was on & on about Linux.

Just.. never got around to it.. Lately I've considered it again but first, I'd have to get the hardware.. Its something I'm considering though, if only just for knowledge & experience.

I'm guessing Ubuntu would be high on your recommendations list?
