I learned a great deal this past week about hardware, input, output, and software. The Intro to Linux article was surprisingly easy-to-read and understand. It provided a history of Unix, Linux, and the beginnings of the C code. It was the original open source software collectively developed in the 1990s. Did you know that the browser Firefox is based on Linux applications?
What I liked about this article, was that it made it sound like Linux was not as hard as it seemed. That anybody could learn it and that there is a community of Linux users for support. I’m curious and I may play around on this site http://www.gnome.org.
For the sake of comparison, it was useful to read the articles about the MAC OS X and the “Update on the Windows Roadmap.”
As a PC user, it is tempting to think that MAC users have an easier time because its operating systems are compatible with older versions. Note that the MAC OS X has a UNIX core operating system. However, the MAC OS X will unveil a new version of MAC OS X v.10.6 and will likely face challenges.

I was a Mac user back when they switched over to OS X. Classic (the emulator of the old Mac operating system) was really helpful in making the transition to a new operating system. Now, though, Classic won't work with new Apple computers, so people have to update their software.
I'm intersted in trying Linux, too. Thanks for the website!
