NYT weighs in on Linux

I somehow missed this Larry Magid report on Linux in the NYT last week. I think his conclusions are fair… LInux continues to give savvy users a viable, stable platform for most common computer chores, certainly for email, web-browsing et al. Where it may fall down is with issues like hooking up cameras, music players and installing and updating software, though those processes are improving. We have Ubuntu installed on our Mac Mini as a VM, just for fun…

    These conclusions were made 10 years ago. Funny how each generation of dot commers has the same experience.

    I think there are 5-year-old reports on gulker.com that say as much, and I wrote a similar piece for Newsforge a few years back…
