[News] [Linux] All Fon Employees Told to Move to Ubuntu GNU/Linux

FON is Dropping Microsoft, Adopting Ubuntu

Linonut...

There are many reasons at Fon for dropping Microsoft. The first one
and by far the most important is to save time. I have tested Ubuntu
and Mac for about a month now and while I like Mac to play I found
myself using Ubuntu more and more for work. Ubuntu has the look and
feel of Microsoft, but it´s like a Microsoft software that works
fast, that turns on and off very quickly, that installs programs very
easily, that lacks that atmosphere of paranoia that surrounds
Microsoft and that is extremely easy to learn and use. With Ubuntu I
forgot about the computer and got to focus on the work at hand. This
I could not do with Windows who through crashes and delays managed to
remind me, all too frequently, that it was there. The second reason
for the shift is savings.

Who would ever have thunk it? One billionaire frightening another
billionaire (or two) with free software!
