Certain websites e.g. some online banking websites and other websites are not to be used by linux only users? I would like to hear a proper statement about above from some of the really clever internet experts. If above is correct, then all sites with linux installation instructions ALWAYS should inform, so new linux users will know? THANKS? </pre> </blockquote> I have yet to find a website that will not work for Linux. There is a ton of software that I used to use in Windows that will not work on Linux. However I have found (even better) Linux replacements for everything I used to use in Windows. For me, I would gladly give up ANY Windows only software/website just to get rid of the Microsoft junk off of my computer and use Linux. No matter how badly I needed it. It's more than just a convenience issue. I have a personal problem with the way Microsoft does business. They take advantage of people while trying to corner the market with their shabby software. I install Linux on every single computer I can get my hands on. I have found that a lot of people don't even realize that they do have a choice and that there is actually other operating systems they could be using. They just assume that if you have a computer you have to have Microsoft windows, anti virus programs, registry cleaners, defragmenters, anti malware programs, etc.. Microsoft must have paid someone a lot of money to have their garbage installed on nearly every computer sold. I think this is what Linux should be putting on their website for new people interested in downloading/installing Linux. <hr size="1px" noshade style="clear:both;margin-top:10px;height:1px;"> <div style="font:12px Verdana,sans-serif;color:Black;background:white;padding:3px;line-height:1.3em"> <a href="http://www.inbox.com/marineaquarium"><img src="http://my.inbox.com/img/ftrs/marine.jpg" width="104" height="90" alt="3D Marine Aquarium Screensaver Preview" align="left" border="0" style="margin-right:15px" /></a> Free 3D Marine Aquarium Screensaver Watch dolphins, sharks & orcas on your desktop!
