All I had to get Linux working right was to have the courage to install it.

I haven't had to tweak much at all - and I have not done a single thing to avoid virus and other such problems. Mozilla and such work just fine to kill any spyware - the operating system itself is not easy for viruses to crack.

Linux now is ready for general use.

The same can be said of OS X, and end users are more familiar with Macs than Linux.

It is possible
to live a fun, productive
life in, say, Des Moines.

But it's not the same
as living in, say, New York
or Los Angeles.

Windows is New York
or Los Angeles. Linux
is Des Moines. Don't think

that just because you
enjoy one kind of life style,
then the entire world

must submit to it,
or would like it if they did.
See the big picture.
