Bring
Back the Joy --- B B t J . O r g

This page lists various Linux, OpenSource, and Computing links that we have found useful or interesting:

I use Linux for my primary computing (I do also for supporting others reasons have a Windows machine), but for those of you that must use Microsoft Windows: I suggest that you use Yahoo Mail for it's spam filtering, it's virus protection, and most of all it's ISP independence. It's free, and you can use it from anywhere, any machine. Never be be forced to change your email again when you move or change ISPs. Also to protect your own machine use McAfee.com , get it and kiss your Security / Virus / Worm / Spam / Spyware / Adware / Hacker / Cracker worries goodbye! It has a free test you can run before you buy to see if you've got any viruses already. Every other anti virus solution I've tried has messed up more than it has fixed. Especially beware of free anti virus "solutions" and computer repair tools, they are often trojans that bring in more trouble then they fix.
