While using Linux in the past I come across its major drawback; its lack of support for automated Installers.

For professionals it might not be a major point, but for ordinary users it is major point. Average user installs more packages every day than he used to do couple of years back.

Windows has its own installation framework known as MSInstaller. This installer makes installation standardised across Windows platform. Also further installation packaging software such as InstallShield and Wise installation are available in the market. They make experience of user very easy. Complicated routines such as identifying current system OS, memory and other peripherals, disk space available, previous version of software package in the system, licensing terms etc are handled by script internally without requiring any expert knowledge during installation.

Hi Everyone,

Day to day most of us use royalty free image galleries for web & other print media development.

But royalty free does not mean free images.
Let me clarify, royalty free means you can use those images for intended use without paying ongoing fee. That means company can still charge you one off fee.

Recently one of web design company (who designed our client's web page) used royalty free images without paying to image gallery (Corbis). Image gallery did not waste time and filed legal suit for a huge amount against our client.

We've Heard Linux Is Secure, but Is It Good for National Security?

Cuba is dumping Microsoft in favor of Linux in many of its government ministries. According to the country's communications minister, it's not just a matter of saving money or avoiding vendor lock-in, it's also about national security. In a recent speech, the minister registered concern over Microsoft's cooperation with the U.S. military. Pundits also made much of Free Software Foundation founder Richard Stallman's recent visit to Cuba. Opinion among industry analysts, including Rob Enderle and Bernard Golden, is decidely mixed. Despite the communication minister's comments, at least one observer opines that governments that move to Linux are motivated by two things: saving on software licensing costs and getting out from under Microsoft's monopoly.

I installed Kubuntu operating system.
I am impressed by its GUI and other Windows like features as well.

I have been advocating open source softwares/applications for long time. I used many applications over last 6 years. But I continued to use Windows operating system.

But my second attempt to embrace Linux failed as soon as I tried to install VMWare on Kubuntu.

VMWare provided GUI based installer for Windows but for linux they have command based installer.
