Using Linux in a Windows World Contributed by Hugh Esco in Reviews on 2006-08-21 00:00:00 Discuss! Name: E-mail: Title: BBCode: Comment: [quote]I am a HE student in the UK and one of the very difficult things I find when trying to work with Windows users/clients is document compatibility and how I would be able to read from and export to formats that absolutely [b]anyone[/b] can access. I push for people to write to free formats (I've even given a few presentations about the advantages of doing so) but when documents of the strictly proprietary type are received (via email/IM mostly) I often find them difficult to deal with. At this somewhat critical stage of my life where I am about to jump into what is usually called "the real world", I feel it is important that I can work using the platform of my choice in any situation (Debian GNU/Linux currently). I simply do not want to have to use and only use Microsoft products in order to get work done. Thank you for clearing up on many of the areas in which I previously felt was difficult to approach people about. I didn't even ask my LUG for advice. Now that I think about it, it was silly of me not to approach them about it. I will link to this post as a great aid for persons new to or finding it difficult to stay on the side of free and open source software.
