I learn foxpro, wordstar in 1993- because I am an accountant till 2003 I have to work throu' all M$ avatars in my office system.. but never learnt what is computer or what is Operating systm.. simply worked like a Zambie..Even when I first purchased my own PC preinstalled Windows XP-in 2003 I didn't learnt anything except exell and Office applications..

But after the introduction to Linux my life wholly changed...
Because only when you think freedom, enjoy the freedom, and respect the others freedom..You can live like a true human being..
For me Linux is Not simply a OS it is a religion...thousands of years ago our forefathers of this land invented manythings..But never felt to kept themselves..they offer their knowledges wisdom to others freely so the mankind can live long ago..
If you can analysed the Harappan's civilisation they built a small rectangular stone beds along the corridor walls, to allow the travellers to rest their, if necessary feed them..Athithi deva bava hospitality grownwith everyone born in that great land..
But after, the foreigners overrun and ruled the land for century we all forget what freedom is..What hospitality is?.. We completley forget our cultures and still we are using the western based cultures as our own..Patent,License all of them are westernised not compatible to ours it is alien to ours..

It was only when Linux come ...i found out what i missed for years..It is not simply about freedom.. it teaches brotherhood..it teaches affection and love..When a person is crying thousands miles away, a hand far away land come to his side and help him..

Critic say Linux is ugly.. it is useless.. it don't worth it..But I don't mind it because when I eat a stalled and tasteless food that my wife served, I only think about her love for me ...Hotel food may be tasty but it invite trouble beside emply your pocket...

Thanks for all the folks and Praka for posting a good topic.. there are still i have hundreds popints why I love Linux, what I learnt from it.. but I fear I'll waste whole of the bandwith of the forum!!

thanks for all,
vaithy

an awssome post vaithy. But I think you forgot to mention some other things it helps in. Linux is all about learning and doing things yourself. It helps you innovate on a platform thats already been built for you. Its one of the most beautiful OSes ever, because it has beauty in two dimentions - both inside, and outside. It encourages us to explore and experiment. Linux is an OS that gave me everything. From knowledge to help. And I am not the type of person who takes things for free and does nothing back. I have taken the challenge to learn some good programming languages and return the community a favour by creating good programs. Because the FOSS community is like a brotherhood. We all help each other and learn from each other. There is no greed or selfishness here.

WMP11 sucks in my Intel 915 Chipset mobo and P4 2.66 GHz. And thats reason enough to tell that it is nothing compared to the likes of Xine, VLC, MPlayer, etc.

works fine everywere else ? I have several friends with the same or similar config who agree that WMP sucks. Due to the fact that you are too used to WMP's slow loading time, you think that nothing can be any better.

Thats because he is determined to beleive that Windows is the worlds best OS as its used by a majority

he's a macboy*i180.photobucket.com/albums/x31/trash609/yociexp115-1-1.gif Thats the most funny thing I have ever heard. He is highly antimac. He hates anything thats not from microsoft and windowsish. And he is anti *NIX. He thinks Apple did a moral mistake by making an OS that doesn't look like and act like windows.

many guys say he's a macboy. :D :D :D :lol:

nice posts from all...

Earlier we used to say that linux is for geeks..but now a days its used by common people who don't wan't to left behind in the fast growth of the IT.

Earlier we used to say linux doesn't have a good gui....but now a days it even beats the gui of the vista (i mean aero interface) with less system resources...ya thats nice...

But this is the present now and everybody is talking about the linux..even the microsoft fans.. they fear that their margin will become less when compared to the linux fans...

Any way i like to stay with the linux and live with it and yes i sure use windows for playing games...only till they are released for linux (my favourite games.)

sorry praka for being late..it was a nice post..where do u find these blogs dude..that was nice..
and do post things like these...it was somewhat like a autobiography for me also....ya we linux boys sure have a lot in common....

I dunno what you guys think or haf experienced but from my exp. WMP has the best default audio output. Yes, loading times are a bit more than other software. Just that i'm not too much into music and stuff so don't bother about taggin etc.

He is not a blind supporter of any OS / Company. Hes not into flame wars as well. Hes a supporter of Opensource / Linux but does not support something blindly - which is really nice of him.
