Linux is not Windows!
This may seem like an obvious truth, but there are some people who don’t realise this fact. They are under the misconception that there is only one OS (operating system): Microsoft. Yes, that is true. I have met a couple of people like this.
Sadly both were in the IT industry so to speak. Well, on the periphery anyway. Although the message is getting out there, there is still more to do. I introduced one of these people to DSL (Damn Small Linux). As the name suggests, it is a small Distro of 50 Mb in size that boots from a memory stick or CD that can be loaded onto your hard drive. The person in question was astounded that firstly, there was another OS, and secondly one could run it from a CD drive and have full functionality as if it was loaded onto the hard drive.Then reboot, and there would be no trace of it because it ran from the CD, and if you have enough, load into RAM and run it from there.
Dude.
