I like the idea of Linux because you can download this system on a flash, then use it without having to install it on the computers at school. Our programmer has set up our computers where you cannot download anything without the administrator's key.
Is this communication handled by appletalk?

Open Source rests upon principles... basic human principles of openness
"Free software is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of free as in free speech, not as in free beer."
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html
The freedom to copy, the freedom to use, the freedom to modify, and the freedom to share.
Just to confuse things:
the idea of open-source beer has been around since the 1990's as a joke: http://humorix.org/articles/1998/08/beer/
The Danish Hacker/Artist Krew SuperFlex did it for real:
http://www.superflex.net/projects/freebeer/ intro. concepts of open source & sharing; making things better;

What do you think of when you hear the word hacker? creative problem solver; interesting solution 4 a problem; an artist;
http://is.gd/1jDEf
Artists and Hackers are similar they creat things with a differnet perspective.

Art Hackers
Huh?
Both hackers and artists are creative problem solvers.
work 20 and 80 rule means use your right side and left side of the brain to solve problems. (work less (20% and get the job done).
Contemporary Cyber-Media (if that's even a term) is similar to the Open Source ethos.
