Slackware Linux-The CIA (Cute Intelligent Angel) of my Comp is waiting for an Updation .....................!

This article is merely about the way I got introduced to Linux And then particularly to Slackware distro

It was one fine evening When all my friends including me were involved in gamut of endless talks .Suddenly out of some where someone screamed O S which every one took it granted for Operating System ‘s but the person who said actually meant Open Source .To talk about it I knew nothing expect about the those two words used in literal terms in single phrase .The next reminder that got queued on my cell phone was to google those terms and find out the exact meaning .But I have been using wiki for quite few days and also find it more comfortable than google .Over there this so called five letter world LINUX was used hand in hand to describe the meaning of OS (Open Source) as in my friends terms ,Clicking on that term into a new tab as I use Firefox not IE (Even though IE has come up with the tabbed browsing but I still prefer Mozilla product Don ask me y ? u better experience it by yourself ).

Going through those wiki pages got to know little about it and the people behind them who made it happen.

So finally it was time to try something new on my comp which was fully filled with some shit old engilsh songs and also some of kinda all south religion songs except Malayalam if am correct .So deleted most of them to restrict Windows and its really thick fat partitions to 70 GB and left the 10 GB for Linux .

So went Looking for Linux from room to room as I was staying in Hostel which really defines the meaning bec most of them had it and I was surprised to hear one of them say which one u want ?It was some thing like we get to choose some flavour options in desserts .Since I was little familiar with Window releases over a period of time ,I thought may be same case with this one too. I was frank enough to tell them that I was open to suggestions to suggest the correct one for me .

After a hard discussion then I heard them saying something really funny called Red Hat which made me wonder what kind of title cud that be But I know these geeks come up with some stupid name which makes it too hard for a common man to swallow them.


Then and there the real Red hat was in my hand with its mascot on the CD cover .To be honest wasn’t much impressed with the Red Hat linux’s hence was least bothered to know about its functionality . After going through several websites gotta know that “ slackware is perfect for me………..! “

Something I Wud Say Abt Linux

Is Linux suppose to be a replacement for Windows?

This article which i found on this site matches with my opinion

about Linux so i thought of sharing over here


Most opinions on the purpose of Linux fall into one of the following four categories.


1) Linux is for poor people and poor nations

“Linux is not intended to be a replacement for windows. It's developed to give poor college students (and why not others?) a free unix environment.”

2) Linux is macho GeekWare, not SissyWare

“Actually I don't even wish linux to become an alternative to windows. Windows focuses on user friendliness for users who don't want to learn their system ...”

“But I don't want it to be easy... I want it to set my skills on a hard test.”

3) Linux is not a replacement for Windows

“...it is not Windows clone, and it is not designed to be a replacement. “

“I don't think anyone in the Linux community cares if Linux catches on or not to replace windows or not.”



“...linux never was supposed to replace Windows among newbies and everyday users. Linux is intended to be used by serious users, not mom and pop who just use it for e-mail and movie listings. When if my Mom wud asked me if she should use linux, I wud tell her "hell no!" regardless of the fact that I'm a linux user.”


4) Linux is (or will soon be) a replacement to Windows


“...if there was ever a distribution Linux users could point to and say 'this is the one that can replace Windows,' then this is the one.” (The author is referring to SuSE Linux 7.1 in a Linuxplanet article)

Should Open Source Developers Stay Single....?

















I have a better solution ................!

To keep your wives happy work for both the

organistaions ,Open source as well Close source
