A Conflagration of Randomness

I was reading through Slashdot the other day and came across a link to this article: Linux Stop Holding Our Kids Back

It is about a school teacher who confiscated HeliOS disks that a student was distributing during class and claimed that their is no way software could be free.  As an avid user of Firefox and a fairly recent user of Ubuntu Linux, I must say that this is definitely a very cruel thing to say to the society of people who has work extremely hard toward the open source community.  She even claimed to have used Linux in college and that she knows nothing is better than Windows and that free software must be some sort of copyright violation.  This article shocked me and made me realize just how powerful the computer monopoly mostly held by Microsoft really is.   Just to let everyone else know, yes there is a free Operating System called Linux and it is available in many shapes and forms all over the internet.

The followup to that article is here
