Thank you Fedora!

[Steve Croteau]

I just wanted to let all of you know how much I appreciate your effort in 
developing, contributing and caring for this project.  I'm currently using 
FC3 on two legacy boxes (AMD 450 & Intel 466) in my home office and I see no 
reason to own MS software.

I'm not bashing here, just stating the facts as I see them.  My computers may 
be slow but I choose not to play the constant hardware upgrade game that most 
in the MS world play due to a bloated OS requiring more & more system 
resources.  Linux affords me that choice.  The ROI these two computers have 
generated would be hard to measure.

Being a small business owner, Linux makes sense!

Thank you,

You're absolutely right and I'm glad to see posts like this on the
list!  My server here at home is a dual Celeron 333 that's OC'ed to
550, 512MB of RAM and has been plugging away without incident for 6
years now.  I think it's great that through the use of Linux, one is
able to get new machine performance from less than new machines.  I
always tempted by the shiney upgrade but I can't justify the cost when
the machine I have more than meets my needs for performance.

Welcome to the community!  I hope your stay here continues to be as
plesant as it has been so far!

I agree with you 110%, Steve!  When I first started with Linux, I tried
several of the distros and I honestly feel Fedora is the best!  I would
also like to add my "thank you" to the list...

It's not just about money, it's about freedom, choice, quality etc.

You now have the choice to upgrade and control your own IT decisions. With MS, 
that all gets dictated for you.

Welcome to a better world.

Well I chose to play that game. I have 4pcs. Athlon64-3200,
AthlonXP 2800, AthlonXP 2500 & Athlon 1400 in a semi-retired
state. I current run a mixture of RH9, FC2-4, ArkLinux, CentOS 4.1
and FreeBSD 5-STABLE. I plan on using FBSD and a KDE centric
dist. No offense, but I have been compiling KDE since 1.0beta3. I
prefer compiling KDE to using RPMs simply because I follow KDE
from SVN, formerly CVS.  So as you can see, there are many sides
to the story.
