Story: Norway's second city embraces Linux

Speaking in techology, Linux totally defeats Windows when it comes to multitasking, memory management, cpu usage, cpu optimization, hardware posibilities(hotswap emulation, parport scsi emulation), graphics performance(My Quake3 runs @ 90 FPS 800x600 full detail on my 1,5GHz laptop while the windows ver just does 80 FPS).

The list can go on forever. Most people say that Linux is mainly for servers. That's partially correct. They've probably got their opinion from the fact that many companies run Linux at their servers but not at their clients. That's sadly correct. The incorrect thing is that Linux is unusuable on clients. That's WRONG! I don't know how many times I have to tell this, but Linux is as good as Windows when it comes to standard workstation work, finances, music, development, accounting, internet cafe administration and so on.

Financially i can clearly see that switching to Linux is cheap if documentation is present. If so, users can train themselves. If not, it becomes too expensive to train all the users in a large company. But if you run a small company/pizza house/internet cafe this is a very small cost.

It's time to make a change. At least take a look at Linux, it might change your world.
