My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. I do not care whether my solution is the same as yours. I like to think for myself.
My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. I have been blessed by working in schools where students and school systems have benefited by good, modular software easily installed in most systems.
I have shown GNU/Linux to thousands of students and hundreds of teachers over the years and will continue in some way doing that until I die in spite of the opposition.

Picture: “No Foreign Intervention. Libyan People Can Manage It Alone.”
Pogson: “Let’s give them equipment and material and they will do the job.”
….???
One thing Libyans can agree upon is that they don’t want another Iraq…
They do lack material, however. Gaddafi was quite cunning to see that the army has only obsolete equipment. Their planes have not flown for years. If it comes down to a battle of tanks, Gaddafi will do a lot of damage because his private air-force is well-equipped. Of course, the anti-Gaddafi forces are larger in numbers but not well prepared to dislodge Gaddafi. I think there will come a time when they want air-strikes or military supplies. We should be ready. Already I hear that western intelligence services are supplying maps/satellite imagery. I expect trucks, weapons and air-strikes will follow.
That’s a great picture and it sends a clear message (couldn’t be any clearer). I hope the Libyans get what the want and what they need.
I love that picture.
