Open Source Questions and Answers

http://live.pirillo.com - John Perez is a college Freshman who is doing an argumentative paper on Open-Source applications. He sent me a list of ten questions that I am going to answer in simple terms. Also, we're using our GoToMeeting to allow you to follow along with everyone as they use Open-Source applications.

Bravo Chris!!! With the Vista on my new laptop, I bit the bullet and install Ubuntu. While running a PC, I have never had a better computing experience. Apple is another story (much better than Linux even). But I do not pay for any software I use and I run a small web design/computer services business and Open Source apps do everything I need to do.

This guy gets it wrong.. It used to be everyone would give away their code for free, then companies closed the source code, meanwhile other people split off and were still sharing their code for free.

web 2.0 is a concept, its not a tool.

I've been playing around with OpenGL a lot lately. As far as I know that is open source. Absolutely love it. My favorite image tool is Gimp. Right now I'm using Firefox. I also like programming in PHP and Python. Is a life without open source possible? I don't think so.

J4gg1T. That is rubbish. Gamespot are retarded, trust me. Those pictures are actually dulled down, and they did not turn on the full GPU power of the PS3, including several graphical options you can select. Now, on your computer. How many cells has it's processor got? What is it's power in GHz? What GPU has it got? What RAM has it got?

I assure you that unless you have spent thousands and thousands of pounds on a custom built computer with processors and GPUs that are not available to the public, then it will not be more powerful than the PS3.

I'm viewing this from my mepis partition and use my open software all the time, Mepis and pclinux are my favorite versions of desktops. I only boot into xp for games and eventually that will end too.
