TOPIC SUMMARY:
Myths, misperceptions and FUD abound about Open Source software. I
will briefly explain what Open Source is and explain how it differs
from Closed Source software. I will also discuss my own experience
with the Open Source GNU/Linux desktop system over the past 7 years
and speculate on its future.
