I can make it extremely easy for everyone who wants to try Linux -- the
future of Operating Systems. Just remember, Like MSDOS it has its learning
curve. Will take 3-6 months to feel really good about it... but like an
education, you'll be so adept, your mind will expand reaches beyond what you
could ever imagine, and you'll be right on the pulse of the internet.
I could send Linux to everyone, but I'd have to burn it myself. Best if
everyone out there, orders a copy. They are low as $1 or $2 a CD, this
includes Linux, a Webserver (Apache), FTP, and about 300 other applications.
Good applications. If anyone wants help installing, they can email me and I
will tell you in detail how to set it up -- no cost to anyone -- my freebie
to the world, my altruistic nature that gets slammed by some on here, for
the purpose of creating the ultimate monopolistic operating system (see I'm
a megolomaniac just like Bill, hey Omega man.. hehe), I just believe
individuality should be the monopoly.
go to:
LINUXCENTRAL.COM to get Linux for $1.95
the precise link is:
http://linuxcentral.com/catalog/index.php3?cat[]=lccd
Redhat, Slackware, SUSE, Debian, Mandrake, all the variants of Linux. $1.95
each. (I just looked, it looks like they are now $1 each)
Installation notes: Do not try to install these on a circuit city special
... one of those all and one "designed for Windows98" computers generally
flake out. A clone is best, or IBM (which openly supports Linux). HP
Pavilion's, Compaq Presarios, sort of flake out with all their integrated
junky hardware they pawn off as good. But at $1.95, its worth a try.
NOTE TO OMEGAMAN: I realize this list is for Tradestation and trading. I
will not bring this up anymore in any great deal on the list.
One last tip: If you are a real newbie, and want a good Linux, order Linux
from COREL (guys who make word perfect) Or get Caldera's version. This is
the real stable environments for business and end user applications. RedHat
is more for hackers... I use Mandrake on my dual processor, which is even
more wild. However, get the EASIEST one you can... you can always upgrade
to any other variant of Linux from any distributor with no problems later.
Anyone starts using linux.
I will tutor them for $0 until they get good at it.
Thats my value, and my last message about Linux here Omegaman.
Excuse me for taking over the list with this offtopic for the last two days.
I'll add some positive feedback on trading actually starting now.
Thanks,
TraderGirl
