[LINK] Linux Alive and Well in Sydney

[Marghanita da Cruz]

Hi Narelle,

Been buying laptops since 1997 and never using the pre-loaded OS, in 
favour of loading and using Linux. I use Ubuntu now.

Lot's of good side: viruses, gimp,cpanel,open office, I tried to do 
online GST - first return in 2000 was ok- but not so upgrades - but 
support for linux bad and now accountant does return.

Interesting talk on Friday emphasised Sun Systems (ZFS?) developed File 
System now open source with a strong community. Used by a aus HOSTING 
company.

Google has standardised bins across company (different blue and yellow 
bins to aust). But qudos on reusable drinking vessels. My instagram posts:

Pizza and Coke has not changed despite Bowel Cancer epidemic in adults 
under 50.

Audience picked up an error in AI generated slides.
