Zen and the Art of Nonprofit Technology

More lately, I’ve been working to focusing my advising practice on helping people implement open source software (mostly server-side) in their organizations, providing advice and training. But here’s Ubuntu week 1, not edited or smoothed out. My first step was to make sure the laptop booted. It booted fine.

I’m actually quite happy – I can run both Windows 7 and Ubuntu Linux on my laptop, and I like Android (and my Droid 2 phone) a lot. And, of course, using Ubuntu on the desktop is fun. It does feel a bit weird to use Windows sometimes, considering my years as an open source advocate.

There are a number of reasons for my deciding to slowly leave the Macintosh platform: I want to focus more energy and time on free and open source platforms – I might donate what I would have spent on Leopard to some deserving projects. It’s been fun, these 20 years with Macintosh. So you could have done that.

At some point, when I’ve saved up enough pennies, I’m going to buy a Mac laptop again. On the Windows side the hardware manufacturers make proprietary drivers for Windows, and very few make drivers for Linux, or open source their drivers so that Linux developers can use them. I use Ubuntu on a dual-boot (XP) machine.
