… it’s Software Freedom Day

Saturday, Sept. 18th, 2010

I love open source software, especially Wikipedia. And WordPress.org.

In fact, I’m nervous adopting anything aside from open source software.

Anything can go wrong with proprietary software. And does.

… an annual worldwide celebration of Free Software. SFD is a public education effort with the aim of increasing awareness of Free Software and its virtues, and encouraging its use.

Software Freedom Day was established in 2004 …

Our vision is to empower all people to freely connect, create and share in a digital world that is participatory, transparent, and sustainable.

    Hey rick…it’s now time for you to try ubuntu linux. It is now slick. And if you’re really still scared, you can dual boot the computer. It’s time to go all the way open source…

  2. OK, Dave.

    I promise to load it … on my NEXT laptop.

    The way I transition is to start from scratch, adding only those files I want.

    At this point I have no space on my current laptop hard drive.
