Linux for Christians
Many people know about Windows, and there are some more who know about Apple (or Mac OSX). But, how many of you are familiar with Linux. Chances are, if you are reading this that in some fashion that you might have heard about it before. But if not, here is my brief summary: Linux is a (usually) free operating system built on the principle that computing should be open to development and use by everyone. Of course, you can read more specifics about Linux, but that was my piece.
Now, why I mention Linux is because of a note forwarded to me today from BobR about a Christian version of Linux (Ubuntu distribution) that offers some Christian focused software along with the rest of the distribution package. Here is a snipped from the Linux for Christians website:
We have just released the new Ubuntu Christian Edition. It is a Linux distro geared towards the needs of Christians. It is built directly from the standard Ubuntu distribution and includes preinstalled Christian software. The initial release contains GnomeSword Bible software and a few minor graphical changes. Future releases will include more Christian software as well as some additional tweaks to tailor the distro to Christians. This project has received lots of support from the many Ubuntu users at the Ubuntu Forums, many of which are not Christian but support the idea. You can check the project out at www.ChristianUbuntu.com.
Very cool. I have been looking at possibly changing my workstation's operating system and this just might do it for me.
