DesktopLinux.com today proclaimed July 4th, 2002 to be the first annual
wIndependence Day. Coinciding with the US Independence Day holiday,
wIndependence Day  celebrates the burgeoning use of Linux on business,
government, educational institution, and personal end-user computer
desktops as an alternative to dependence on Microsoft's Windows
operating system and associated products. Thousands of dollars worth of
prizes for the celebration's essay contest are being donated by
CodeWeavers, ELX, Lindows.com, Lycoris, MandrakeSoft, Opera, Sun
Microsystems, SuSE, theKompany, and Ximian, providers of the leading
desktop-oriented Linux distributions and productivity tools.

To turbocharge this year's wIndependence Day celebration,
DesktopLinux.com is inviting readers to send in their 500-1000 word
accounts of how they have 'kicked the Windows habit' or implemented
Linux as a Windows-alternative in their company or organization.
Twenty-five of the best essays submitted by midnight July 3rd will be
selected for publication at DesktopLinux.com beginning on July 4th, and
their authors will be awarded prizes.
