Linux Operating System; The Next IT Solution Component

When life sucks, get the best u want 2 light up ur life. This July is so cold that i hate waking up early every morning. For the last two weeks i ve bn arriving at work very late. I ve bn oversleeping.

The life sucks more when u arrived at work, switch on ur comp. and u find it has bn hacked by some foreign elements. I mean, it has bn attacked by a virus or a worm. All ur data losed. What do u gonna do? Start 4rm the scratch, n if u aint a computer wizard u r in trouble looking for the nearest IT technician to sort ur problems, meaning another unplanned budget!

By this, u r juz cursing ur internet connectivity or provider for nothing instead of Microsoft chief, Bill Gates. I say this because majority of all the desktops are running microsft windows of which i found to be more prone to problems than any other OS.

In conjunction with one of my colleague, we have done thorough research and found that u better run Linux OS than Microsoft Windows. While 90% of Desktops in Kenya run on Microsoft windows platforms, 90% of servers run on Linux platforms of which it has bn accredited for its data security than MS servers. The reasons are:

1) Linux is more secure than MS windows considering the importance of servers.
2) Linux is cheaper in maintenance and installation than MS Windows.
3) While Linux is a 'free' open source software, where 'free' here means freedom; freedom to edit, improve and customize the way u like, MS windows is a restricted to only Microsoft Inc. U ve no rights to alter it components.
4) In MS windows, u ve 2 buy other programmes like Office, Linux OS is inclusive.
5) While u ve to buy different installation CDs for different products like servers, home editions, desktops etc, Linux products comes in one CD and it gives u an option of installation e.g. Desktops or Servers.
6) While it takes 3 to 4 months and expensive to learn how to use MS office, it only takes approximately 1 week to learn how to work with Linux.

Those are the few advantages of Linux over MS Windows. While compiling the report, we found most respondents wants the most secure, cost effective and efficient operating system of which advice them to use Linux.

In this context, we will mobilize, great awareness, install and train users on how to use Linux. Linux is user friendly OS. Trust me, Linux is the best operating system. This is a first hand information, i run Linux on my desktop, Ubuntu Linux.

For more information, contact me here. We run a Linux training, installation and consultancy firm.

SMOKING BANNED IN NAIROBI CITY

It has bn along time since i blog, but i waz forced to blog by what Nairobi City Council did 2day. After successful banning of smoking in public in Nakuru, now the hammer has hit right in the city.

Non-smokers like me will be very happy by that decision coz: 1) I will never puff more smoke into my lungs in the matts where the makangas usually hang precariously on the door smoking and exhaling all smoke inside the mat not considering the fate of passengers. and 2) This guy who usually smoke in the lift will stop!

As i say kudos to the city god-fathers, i know the smokers are up in arms and 2morow don be surprised to find them in courts trying 2 stop this ban.

To all smokers, be on the look-out while smoking coz u might spend a night in the cold. I smoking should be banned in all public places all over the country.
