I am  only  a Linux user, not an expert. I feel good to tell you that I am linux user. Because, when I look around, I see only linux geeks, or linux experts and very very less linux users.

Understanding Linux as a user

The open source theory is not my attraction. I use Linux because it is a good operating system and that’s the only reason.When I write about Linux, I am not  preaching freedom and open source or any of those theories…  but I am trying to tell you about a good operating system that I use.

My job introduced Linux to me as an operating system  that does almost everything that windows can do, and lot of things that Windows can not do. I used linux because I had to, and I did not leave Linux because I started loving it.

This will not happen very often. We do not have platforms where general public get introduced to Linux. Linux and most of the things related to it are shared within the Geek Communities around the Internet.

So, when google and Linux join together, we need to expect something .. big …  reason ?.

Imagine you introduce Linux to a Windows user, and tell them this is Ubuntu, a Linux OS .. try this out … they may not do it .. and they will start complaining about it even if they start using it .. but  the desktop environment is pretty much the same. Now, introduce Google Docs to a MS Office user, and tell him/her that this is a Google Product.. they will like it.. sure, they will at least try it out for some time.

A website, and few advertisements, and there ends the relation between most of our politicians with web and I don’t think they like blogs.

But still, there are a few who blog, including L.K Advani, whose blog is filling most of adsense spots for us these days. If you know more blogs, please post the links in the comment section. It will be very bad if we ignore them.
