Redhat 9

As I mentioned earlier this week, we installed Linux at work.
Redhat 9 is incredibly intuitive and gave me options that I was totally impressed with.
It appears to be smarter than Windows in a lot of areas.
I think Windows is great in many ways, but having now seen the latest Redhat installation, I’d say Microsoft is getting a run for their money with Apple OSX and Linux Redhat.

While many commercial applications are not available on Linux yet, I hope that there will be a drift in that direction.
I’d love to see us port some of our software (particularly the web based software) over to Linux versions.
Maybe when my C++ skills are better I can give that a shot.
However, I’m not so sure that’ll be easy… it sounds good though.

Tomorrow I’m going to help the Cobb’s move into their new place, go to a
lunch meeting at work and then head to Austin to get ready for
SXSW (South By South-West).
I’m looking forward to SXSW, and hope that I learn a lot.
There’s a lot of opportunities to network with people there and promote WorldClient – I’m hoping to get a chance to tell the World about Alt-N.
