Hi all,

I've just finished writing the first in a series of posts for the absolute beginner, explaining what Linux is and just what makes it so cool.

Here's the link:

Here's a sneak-peek:

Hang on, did you just say it’s free?

Yes. Linux is completely free. You don’t have to pay anything for it.

…Then how can it be any good?

Because, unlike Microsoft Windows and Apple’s Operating System, OSX, Linux can be described as Open-Source software. This means that the underlying code which makes the whole PC do what you want is available for anyone to edit, improve and share. Whereas computers in general have been turned from Tools into Products by various multinational companies like Microsoft, Linux attempts to promote the freedom of technology, information, and computer knowledge. A popular analogy is with a recipe. A recipe is, like a computer, a tool - it gets the job done. What would you do if the recipe for baking bread was not freely available? What if you couldn’t change it without being sued? Linux attempts to bring the ownership of the PC back to you.
