It’s highly stressful, I can’t keep up with them

You might think that I’m talking about work, nope! that’s not it. It has it’s own stress mind you but it’s becoming a routine lately (when I finish my BPI then it will be a different story )

Does it involve my private life; YES! sort of…

I suddenly decided to revisit an old blog I used to read a while back and what do I see???

Now back to my complaint…

WHY WHY WHY WHY?!!?! Why are opensource communities so active? I mean it’s not only Sun, but others as well. Why do they release Great (with a CAPITAL G) products and distributions? Why don’t I have enough time to install them where ever I what?

Like that’s not all, next month there will be the new version of Ubuntu 7.10 . What should I do? stay with a tested and trusted OS (Linux) where I have everything working fine OR install and try to migrate everything to a new OS (Unix) I know little about? not to mention the headaches and hassle to move the data and test if all is working as it should.

Probably not all of you know that I M$? I find it extremely hard to understand why I need to pay a BILLION $ company to use a product that at the end is not mine to do what ever I want, when on the other hand I have other choices that can *almost* do what I want and they are mine to keep? why do I need to carry and PAY a M$ license around just to prove that what I installed is legal? (In Italy there’s a special police force who does checks) and I had a few friends who got stopped on the road and stations, to a couple they had their PC and CD’s confiscated

I ask of you (if you have time and a spirit of adventure) to try one of them out! I’m sure that you’ll be able to find a specific distribution that suits your needs, think on the positive side (I know this is getting monotonous)

• No more viruses
• No more spending on extra software
• Extremely limited risks of hackers (even with out a firewall)
• Etc…

Seriously try Ubuntu out if you’re looking for an easy OS, you can

• Download it
• Have it sent to you by mail for free (need to register)
• Buy it paying a nominal fee if you wish!

Trust me! you’ll be amazed
