I've been seeing an increasing attitude rising in the blogsphere lately that I think needs to be addressed, as it echoes a growing sentiment within the Linux and Open Source community. One of the biggest things we've been telling the world to do for years is to switch to Linux and Open Source.

New Mexico is alive and well as far as Linux, Open Source and just about anything else technology you can think of.

It’s been a rather interesting year for Linux, with just enough ups and downs to keep us on our toes. And, being as it is the heart of December, I figured now is a good time to scour through the Linux Action Shows of the past year and find, what I consider to be, the top moments from 2008.

I was once a newbie to Linux. That was several years ago now, but I remember the feeling of using it for the first time. It was a mixture excitement and fear.
