Borys Musielak, has published an article on polishlinux.org on his top ten reasons why Linux should be used instead of Windows. I have just finished part one, which is what the previous link goes to. Although he claims that he is purposely being biased against Windows, he’s actually quite fair towards Windows. For example:
What’s the difference between the security policy of Microsoft compared to GNU/Linux and even better, BSD systems? It’s the defaults, idiot! Technologically, both systems can provide a similar level of security, actually. The difference is that most GNU/Linux distros make it much easier to have a secure OS by providing reasonable default settings, usually secure enough for home computer users.
Unlike most others who just give a blanket statement that Linux is more secure than Windows, he actually gives that Windows can be as secure as Linux, when properly configured.
He also gives a really good explanation and tutorial on Window Managers and the usefulness of having Virtual Desktops. For those who came from Unix with virtual terminals, it was obvious what to do with these. But for me, it wasn’t immediately obvious why Virtual Desktops were such a boon.
For anyone who’s curious, I definitely recomend it!

Fedora Core 6 will be out on 11 Oct 2006 (if they keep to schedule this time). Expect some screenshots once I get the AIGLX special fx working. They’re a little behind SuSe on this one, but still pretty ahead of the game.
