Love is free, water is supposed to be free, medicinal plants should be free and unpolluted, quality software should be free and unpolluted. Software authors should be paid for their work, but patents on everything get in the way of free enterprise and should be carefully considered, and taken out of the corporate business model entirely. This section is dedicated to developing this thesis visually so that the uninitiated may learn about the virtures of open source software, how to set up a user friendly (x/edu/k/ubuntu, ubuntu studio, dynebolic clustering linux, fedora, mandriva, open suse, and the use of Knoppix for maintaining and repairing equipment and networks.
The fedora project is a community managed version of Red Hat Codebase. ITs really quite slick. Red Hat handled updates with the YUM - Yellowdog Update Manager while Ubuntu and other linux flavors use the aptitude - apt-get repository update system. Eith

If you are a purist, or you have friends that are purits that you want to impress, this is the linux for you. Debian is the core codebase that spawned Ubuntu and many other "forks" of linux that exist today. Many people have been working with
This is a really cool set of software that holds great potential for free enterprise and people who wish to "take the power back" as Rage Against the Machine" so eloquently put it.
Asterisk is the world’s leading open source telephony en
Knoppix]Knoppix is an amazing toolset to help get things working. Its considered indispensible for computer labs and networks and the first thing that people reach for when everything is blowing up. Check it out....
Rasta Linux is quite nice: I'm using it right now! I'd add a gimp.org for doing professional graphics, since that always comes up in my working world, being a web designer/ php coder. I like it alot, and I love the graphic, its the one I used for the lin
