For more information on Linux you can check out my channel where I feature a lot of videos about linux and also check out coverlesstech.com where I have articles for pretty much every video of mine.

Go Open Source or Go Home
Still having trouble deciding on open source? Watch this video as this is a good explanation.
You don’t have to be a geek to want to save your money and download programs for free. Here are 5 of my quick picks for open source software. My site – www.nixiepixel.com You may be wondering; What is Open Source? Open source generally refers to software that is released with open source code and no restrictions on downloading, modifying or advertising the work. An open source program usually starts when developers publish their code where other developers can learn about it, download it, and play with it. Where do you come in? You can reap all the benefits of course by using the application for no cost to you. Here is where you can download the programs mentioned in the video (in order) Firefox: www.mozilla.com openoffice: www.openoffice.org GIMP: www.gimp.org Pidgin: www.pidgin.im Video Editing Software: kdenlive: www.kdenlive.org (for Linux) Avidemux: fixounet.free.fr (for Windows) Thanks and hope you enjoyed!

Having trouble downloading games to linux
I’m using linux and it keeps saying that I can’t download games how can I download games from the internet. It says something like I need a file or something?
What is the best linux distribution for learning to use many?
First, a bit about my background.. I currently work as a Network Engineer, mainly with Cisco routers/switches and VPN devices. I am thoroughly familiar with Windows, both as a workstation and server, and have one more test to go to complete my MCSE. However, I have no real experience with Linux, and feel like this is both a hole in my personal knowledge and in my resume. 🙂 I can do basic user stuff both from a command line and in Xwindows, but have no real command of it.
That said, I intend to rectify this. I want to start using Linux as my primary operating system on my personal PC, as I feel this is a great first step to really force myself to learn it. I need to know what distribution would be best for me to use. My concern is some of them seem to have a lot of proprietary tools that are not found in other linux distros, I want to find one to learn on that will best allow me to be comfortable on any linux distro I run into in the future. Thanks much for your advice!
Ubuntu Demo
Multi-boot Pc with Windows Vista & Ubuntu 9.4. This video When it comes to an OS (operating system) Linux owns windows outside of the online gaming like wow, shaiya, etc. Linux has no need for an antivirus because its not poorly designed like windows is. To make windows as secure as linux, they would have to scrap the whole os and start from scratch.
Mac, PC & Linux – Novell Commercial
This takes the Mac-PC ads gag to a new level and leaves you to believe who is actually in the drivers seat. And I wholeheartedly agree.
A parody of the Apple Mac vs. PC advertisements. It’s a Novell advertisement.

How do open source companies avoid harmful contributions and find the useful ones?
Because wikipedia is open source, I can modify anything I want. But what happens if someone deletes, adds bad content, modifies useful content ? What does wikipedia do to prevent that ?
The last question is available for any other open source software: linux, php etc. How do they know which contribution is useful and which is harmful ?
Thank you.
