Office Suites, SUSE, Ubuntu and Internet Security

Thursday 27th October 2005

Category: News

First of all, we have an article about why office suites suck, to put it in the author's words. I agree with a fair bit of what is said in the article - particularly the segregation of graphics programs.

As you might expect, there have been a few reviews on the internet for SUSE and Ubuntu. For SUSE, there has been a review on Mad Penguin and Technetra. With Ubuntu, a review comes from Linux Online.

Finally, we are being warned about internet security. I am still of the belief that, although applying updates and using firewalls in important, as demonstrated by viruses such as Blaster, common sense is still key - too many people open attachments from anybody, and click Yes whenever they are asked to install something from a web site.
