A sneaky Linux present for a Windows-using friend
Dec. 21, 2005

What holiday gift do you give the loyal Windows user who has everything? Columist Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols has a suggestion for something you might want to consider in these waning pre-holiday days -- a sneaky way to get your Windows friends to give Linux a try.

You know the "give-them-a-Linux-LiveCD-to-play-with trick," where the only thing that happens is that your LiveCD ends up being used as a coaster?

A new article by IBM software engineer Chris Ward suggests a better, more underhanded, way of getting them to give Linux a try. Sound intriguing?

To find out more about this radical gift idea, read Vaughan-Nichols's column, here.
