Your Next Operating System -- 4:17 pm CST, Update by J.t.Qbe

If you've been living in a cyber-cave for the last 5 years and don't know what the heck this Linux stuff is about, check out this article about Linux in today's Washington Post. It's a pretty good intro, though it does seem pretty pro-Linux. Not that that's a bad thing.

Linux has come a long way during the 4 years I've been using it. I just got around to installing SuSE 6.3, which I won at a conference in May. The "everything" install put 7 gigs of software on my drive. It installed software for just about any purpose you can imagine. Then I discovered that it had clobbered one of the other partitions on the same drive--a Windows partition which came before it in the partition table, but existed at the end of the disk. Now it's listed as a FAT32 drive, but seems to point to the Linux partition. Go figure THAT one out. Oh well. I only lost a few games. . .
