One of the first things I’ve learned is never throw Linux on someone’s machine and then just walk away. Especially if it’s someone who’s just switching from Windows due to major viruses or other issues common to Windows.10 reasons for switching to a different Linux distributionAn Introduction to Tiling Window ManagersServers/MainframesNew Server Linux DistributionIBM’s System z10 Business Class Offers Mainframe PerformanceBuilding a Linux Small-Business ServerLinux oldtimers have known for years that it’s not necessary to go into hock for expensive, proprietary networking gear, because Linux comes with a powerhouse networking stack.
