Tonight’s Rant!!

Alright. I really want to test FreeBSD 7 but I refuse to download 3 CD images instead of one DVD image. But they do not have it available in their mirrors.

I find it very funny they have this at their page:

” There are many options for installing FreeBSD, including installation from CD-ROM, DVD, floppy disk, an MS-DOSĀ® partition, magnetic tape, anonymous FTP, and NFS. Please read through the installation guide before downloading the entire FreeBSD distribution.”

Anyway, no DVD ISO! Maybe I will just install it over NFS! (who da heck installs an OS from magnetic tape? or 2 thousand floppies?)

That’s my bitchin for the day.

PS: I still love you FreeBSD.

How to really switch your Mom to Linux

I was reading this article on debiantutorials.org (http://www.debiantutorials.org/content/view/224/1/) and I thought it was pretty interesting.

He makes some good points (and some silly ones :]) on how to rescue her from the evils of Micro$oft. The real secret is to make it simple and functional. He used a Debian box, replaced some of her Windows programs with web applications, and what he could not replace, he just distracted her with some silly games! :)

My only question is: “How do you make you grandmother switch to Linux?” Can you do it yourself or does your mom have to do it?

More power to open source software,
