Will Patent Battles End Free Linux? (Updated Jan. 2, 2008)
John Brandon
Microsoft has made a pack; for one thing suing Linux would mean the end of Microsoft End User support in many countries; not the US of course; we support our lying, stealing crooked president; whereas other countries would have hung him in a tree and set him on fire; this country will not stand up for its rights; that’s why Xerox is suing; they know the American’s are so dumb down they will never do anything against them; even something like Boycott; which is legal.
There is a good [and free] alternative to Linux and Microsoft that people should download, just in case... It is based upon the Linux system, and is called Ubantu. It fits on a 700 Meg CD, and will operate a computer should all the others fail.
It can be downloaded here, as a backup:

For an alternative browser from the memory hogging Firefox, and the insecure MS os systems, use K-Meleon, based upon the same system as Mozilla and Netscape.
