Linux Tips For Geeks
March 4th, 2009 by ComputerBob
I’ve always said that one of the many things that I love about using Linux full-time is that it gives me a perfect balance of challenge and reward.
It takes a certain amount of knowledge, skill and troubleshooting ability to install and configure it, but I still remember the thrill that I felt the first time my computer successfully booted up to a Linux desktop.
My computer is faster, more secure, more reliable and more useful than it’s ever been — and its Linux operating system and hundreds of software applications, tools and utilties cost me absolutely nothing.
Plus, it feels tremendous to be completely in-control of my computer.
In sharp contrast, for the many, many years that I used Windows full-time, I felt like someone else was controlling my computer and I was only allowed to do whatever they chose to allow me to do.
Plus, they charged me a whole lot of money.
Another thing that I love about using Linux is that there are always new things that I can choose to learn about it. Useful things that make my life easier.
Like Linux Tips Every Geek Should Know. I already know some of them; already use a few of them; understand, but have no need to use use some of them; and don’t understand some of them at all.
I really like things like that. How about you?
