Linux and Dell

Image
The Mighty Penguin Has Arrived! It is evident that Dell Computer has a strong relationship with the Linux community.  This should not be surprising because leveraging their hardware prowess with a sustainable operating system is kinda like a no brainer.   You can visit this link to check it out:   http://www.dell.com/learn/us/en/555/linux-solutions The average computer/mobile device user does not really care as long as their devices keep on working.   Linux provides for so much more than it has ever received credit for.  I think that it is notable when a major computer hardware company is taking advantage of this.   You as well can get your feet wet and try out Linux with old hardware that you have laying around.  Just visit http://distrowatch.com/ and download a copy for yourself.  Installation is relatively simple and if you have questions, you most likely will receive the answers you ar...

Cheers!

Linux Mint

Linux Mint is my favorite Linux distribution.  I have used it for several years and while I look at other Linux distros from time to time, Mint serves me well and meets my needs as a desktop operating system.   It is based off of the the popular and stellar Ubuntu and Debian Linux distributions.  The user friendly approach seems to be what I appreciate about it the most.   If you'd like to have a look at it follow this link: http://linuxmint.com/ .  I recommend the XFCE version. It is the one that I use the most.  Linux Mint offers much of what you might find in proprietary operating systems.  It's worth looking into! Cheers.
