Another Good Reason Not to Use That Other OS at Robert Pogson

We can add to the long list of reasons not to use that other OS the WinLock Trojan that locks your system until you make an expensive long-distance phone call to send the malware artist some money. The perpetrators in Russia may have been caught but they surely will inspire others just as news reports about marijuana growing operations raking in millions…

PCs that run that other OS spy on users, spam the globe, clog CPUs, buses, network connections and make users wait and wait and re-re-reboot. Who needs that? Run GNU/Linux and be (relatively) free of all that.

My Mission

My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. I do not care whether my solution is the same as yours. I like to think for myself.

My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. I have been blessed by working in schools where students and school systems have benefited by good, modular software easily installed in most systems.

I have shown GNU/Linux to thousands of students and hundreds of teachers over the years and will continue in some way doing that until I die in spite of the opposition.
