Moving to Linux? No fear, help is at hand
To some people, the increasing number of Linux distributions serves as a disadvante when it comes to attracting new users. To Christopher Smart, it's a plus point - the way he puts it, if he had not been able to roll his own, he never would have achieved the level of understanding of Linux he has today.
Smart is among the few users who has gone the whole hog and developed his own distribution. Based on Gentoo - the distribution which lets you customise everything based on your hardware - it is called Kororaa (Maori for a species of penguin found in Australia and New Zealand). Development has been on hold since November last year for a number of reasons, chief among them being the fact that Smart has cannot put out a binary distribution on his own.
Having gained much from Linux and free software, he decided to spread the word last year and set up his own website called Make The Move. Though the existing site is quite good, he's not happy with it and is looking for a major upgrade so it can meet the objectives he has in mind - to provide easy-to-read information that will help people to move across to Linux.

The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
