Stephen Fry on GNU and Linux

The two great pillars of Open Source are the GNU project and Linux. I shan’t burden you with too much detail, I’ll just make the outrageous claim that your computer will be running some descendant of those two within the next five years and that your life will be better and happier as a result.

I am writing this article on a kind of mini John the Baptist, a system that prepares the way of the software saviour whose coming will deliver the 90% of world computer users who suffer under Windows from the expensive, clumsy, costly, ugly, pricey toils of Microsoft.

(Stephen Fry’s weblog). I’m disappointed he didn’t mention the burden of viruses too. Anyway, I hope Mr Fry does have the same powers of prescience as the original John T. Baptist.
