Shameless Self-Promotion


After writing that previous blog about the benefits of using Linux I've come to the realization that not many people are going to take my advice.  That's perfectly understandable for a couple of good reasons.  Linux for the desktop has made tremendous advances in "ease of installation" and in "user friendliness" in the past few years.  The reality is that not many people want to take the time to learn something new when they are happy with what they have.

Should you be happy with your W-Doze operating system?  When you went to the local retailer and bought that desktop or laptop it came with Doze already installed - but you paid for it.  If you bought the same set-up with no operating system installed you could have saved over $100.00 and installed Linux for free.  When W-Doze comes out with a new version you will need to upgrade your system to stay current - again for a price.  Linux distro upgrades are free - and are released much more frequently.  Oh yeah - you'll need to pay for anti-virus software for that Doze machine - unless you want to go through the headaches and cost of having someone replace or clean up your hard drive.

What can you do on Doze that you cannot do on Linux?  Not much!  There are software games that will only run in Doze.  That's about it.  If you're like me and mainly use your pc for music and video, internet, email, graphics and office applications - Linux beats Doze.  It's faster!  No more viruses - and never crashes.

Still sceptical?  Here's where the SSP comes in.  For $40.00 I will install Linux on your laptop or desktop.  I will make it a dual-boot system whereby you can boot up into Doze or Linux.  I offer same-day service and free e-mail consulting to help you get started.  For good performance your machine should be less than 3 years old and some older machines may benefit from additional memory.  If additional ram is needed - I will install it for free -   you just pay for the memory chips.  Any questions: email me with "Linux" in the subject line.    RAKEMUP@YAHOO.COM
