Why FOSS?
Free Software grants the below 4 freedoms to the user:








The freedom to run the program, for any purpose
The freedom to study how the program works,
and adapt it to one's needs
The freedom to redistribute copies to help others
The freedom to improve the program, and release one's
improvements to the public

See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html
Page 9/27
Why FOSS
Microsoft & EULA (End User License
Agreement)


You give up all rights



You accept all obligations placed on you for limited benefit



You may not share the software



You may not change the software



You do not own the software



You may only install the software to one device





We reserve the right to change the license for any reason or purpose
at any time
You may only run the software as specifically spelled out in the EULA

Page 10/27
Why FOSS


Why is FOSS Important? “Freedom...”








Ethic → ethical computer users
Cost → reducing TCO
Accessible →Provide access to public
Plenty of Choices → No monopoly
Innovation → produce knowledge workers
Business opportunities → provide services
Independent (Freedom) w/o relying on
one technology

My Experiences  Begin 2000 - - Red Hat 6.2   > 12 years NOW Problems!!    do not understand HDD partition   little knowledge on how to install little knowledge on Command Line Interface (CLI) new to X-Windows environment (GNOME, KDE, XFCE, LXDE etc..) unaware of Microsoft equivalent packages/software Page 2/27
  • 3. My Experiences    installing packages (rpm.... aptget... synaptic package manager!) package dependencies, libraries? compiling kernel etc.. for installing device drivers -> root administration tried few versions of GNU/Linux distro -> Mandrake -> Mandriva -> Ubuntu -> Ultimate Edition (UE) Page 3/27
  • 5. My FOSS  Ultimate Edition 2.7 (now 3.5) provides appropriate device driver (touch screen HP), wifi and a lot of packages... and Compiz (desktop effects) works by default..... Page 5/27

  • 9. Why FOSS? Free Software grants the below 4 freedoms to the user:     The freedom to run the program, for any purpose The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to one's needs The freedom to redistribute copies to help others The freedom to improve the program, and release one's improvements to the public See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html Page 9/27

  • 11. Why FOSS  Why is FOSS Important? “Freedom...”        Ethic → ethical computer users Cost → reducing TCO Accessible →Provide access to public Plenty of Choices → No monopoly Innovation → produce knowledge workers Business opportunities → provide services Independent (Freedom) w/o relying on one technology Page 11/27

  • 15. My Efforts  Spreading the GOOD NEWS of FOSS   Explaining the misunderstanding     to VC and Faculties/Centers Head of Department "Free", "Freedom", "Open Source", "Linux" (open source is more acceptable) nothing is free!, no such thing as freedom, heard so many problems, no need to change immune to viruses is normal....
