[Ham-Computers] Linux Questions - More

[kd4e]

Actually, people who are curious by nature *love* to hear 
about alternatives, others are happy in a more 
intellectually limited environment.

In the Linux world, unlike the proprietary Apple and MS 
worlds, it is common for users to experiment with multiple 
Linux distros and to use different ones for different 
purposes and Linux developers are *free* to customize.

I know that we live in the era of speech-controls, big 
brother running every facet of our lives, and attacks from 
the highest-levels of political office and the media when 
anyone dares to question the powers-that-be but let's not 
belittle others in Amateur Radio merely because they mention 
alternative Linux distros.

Bad enough that the powerful are petty.  Sigh.
