Hello again, Well school is in session and MyPCMyWay is gearing up for some new distro releases. The bulk of
our site will deal with using open source and "free" software to replace proprietary whenever practical. Kubuntu
will be releasing Karmic Koala (ie Kubuntu 9.10) in late October; OpenSuse 11.2 and Fedora 12 both should release in
November. Right between these two excellent open source Operating Systems will be Microsoft Windows 7® scheduled
to release also in late October. WOW, what choices, three mainstream Linux distributions and one Non-Linux. I
Love OpenSuse and have been using it since 2000...my husband prefers Kubuntu...but we are contemplating installing Fedora
and checking it against our other 2 favs...Fedora is supported by RedHat...the last time I used a RedHat Linux system was
also in 2000. If you would like more information on these Operating Systems or on open source software in general, why
not drop us an e-mail or better yet, join MyPCMyWay for $15/mo with no contract. We charge for our service so average
people can learn, use and teach free and open source applications and earn compensation for their business acumen. As
our membership grows, we hope to have a positive effect on what software is included with we purchase a new computer.
After all, we are the ones making the investment, shouldn't WE have some say in what is installed on it? The days
of cookie-cutter pc systems should be over and we should be given greater customization of not only the hardware (Intel or
AMD) but also the software (Linux or Microsoft®); open source or closed source...the consumer, not Manufacturers, should
dictate what goes into this product that we have in our homes today...let's work together to improve the offerings in
this field....why are businesses the only ones who can ask for and receive customized systems with the operating system of
their choice? Why aren't home consumers afforded the same courtesy? We can organize to change this...join
MyPCMyWay today!
