Ya, Linux adalah OS, Tidak, Linux bukan sama MSWindows
Apa itu linux? sebelum anda meneroka lebih jauh, saya galakkan anda membaca artikel ini, Linux is Not Windows. Anda akan ketahui perbezaannya.

Don't you think we humans are so lucky that we always have a choices so we can make a choice. For example, our computer operating system. Most of Malaysian users used Microsoft Windows (3.11 'till XP and soon Vista), be it properly licensed or not. Well all that are cost to use. Windows XP Home edition cost us RM399 (I don't know the price now). But 'BukanOri' is totally different story. However, do you know that there are alternative OS based on Linux kernel that is LEGIT, WITH PROPER LICENSE (GPL), AND NO PAYMENT (read NO COST). Just take one linux distribution call UBUNTU, it's a legit product that are developed and produced by one company named CANONICAL, but with a promised to make it available to all mankind freely, all you need is downloading the cd image or you can request a free shipment to your address. Don't believe me? BELIEVE IT!
What is Linux? Before you go any further, I suggest you start a reading on this article, Linux is Not Windows. You can see the differences.

OSS, Hadiah komuniti dunia kepada guru-guru sedunia
Hari ini saya nak ajak rakan-rakan guru meneroka peluang menarik ini, tanpa perlu dituduh pengguna 'salinan original' (@ CR) dan tanpa perlu wang untuk membayar lesen. OSS adalah akronim kepada 'Open Source Software', FLOSS pula 'Free, Libre and Open Source Software', manakalah FOSS pula 'Free and Open Source Software'. Free software tak sama dengan open source software, tetapi majoriti OSS adalah percuma. Tak percaya, cuba rakan guru 'meng-google' kata kunci open source software. gerenti banyak maklumat boleh didapati. MODAL TERPENTING HANYALAH KEINGINAN UNTUK MENGETAHUI DAN MEMPELAJARI SESUATU YANG BARU.
Oh ya, OSS juga wujud untuk windows, namun lebih banyak, terlebih banyak untuk sistem operasian open source seperti GNU/Linux (ubuntu, opensuse, mandriva (free edition), freespire, etc) atau yang percuma seperti FreeBSD atau OpenBSD, opensolaris, etc.
JOM OSSkan diri kita, tak pe, lakukan perlahan-lahan. Yang terpenting kita membudayakan 'RESPEK pada IP' sepertimana kempen kerajaan.
[E]Have you ever heard of the acronym OSS, FLOSS and FOSS? Do you know that there is are free softwares with standard qualities in this world?
Today I'd like to invite all of you, my dear educators, to take the opportunity, without feeling guilty and any money flowing out. OSS stands for Open Source Software, FLOSS is a Free Libre and Open Source Software, whereas FOSS is for Free and Open Source Software. Actually, Free software is not an open source software, but mostly OSS is free! You don't believe me, why don't you try googling this word; open source software. I can assure you, a lot of information can be retrieved from the net. The main thing is, YOU ARE MUST HAVE A DESIRE TO KNOW AND WILLING TO LEARN NEW THINGS. THAT IS ALL.
BTW, OSS also available for Windows, but mostly downloadable for open source operating system like GNU/Linux (ubuntu, opensuse, mandriva (free edition), freespire, etc) or free OS such as FreeBSD atau OpenBSD, opensolaris, etc.
So, lets open ourselves to OSS, be it at slow pace or not. At least, we are willing to incorporate a new value i.e. 'Respects to other IP', in responds to the government campaigns.

Asalamualaikum
InsyaAllah, saya akan menggunakan kedua-dua bahasa yang umum digunakan di Malaysia, Bahasa Melayu dan Bahasa Inggeris di dalam post saya.
Oh ya, untuk pengetahuan anda, saya merupakan pengguna Linux, selain WindowsXP. Buat masa ini, saya menggunakan ubuntu. Sebelum itu, saya pengguna Mandrake (dah tukar ke pada nama Mandriva). Saya akan berbicara tentang itu akan datang.
Jumpa lagi.
With Allah's will, I will continue using both Malays and English in my next post.
Oh, FYI, I consider myself as a Linux user, selain WindowsXP. Currently, I am using ubuntu. Prior to this, I've used Mandrake (now Mandriva). I will talk about linux more often next time.
See you soon.
