Success with semester’s work done in Linux/Open Source

And so, it is done: an entire semester’s work completely written and submitted through open source software. Four submissions written in Star Office, all email in Thunderbird, papers uploaded to the class Yahoo group through Mozilla Firebird. Not one document lost, not one email missed, no viral issues, no text lost to application crashes. I have no worries or misgivings about using doing serious work on an open source desktop. I have seen it prove itself.
