One of the interesting things about X is that it was designed so that a program could be run on one computer and its graphical display could be on another. What this means is that if you have a reasonably powerful computer (say, an older Pentium 120) and a couple of slow 486 computers, they could all run the latest multimedia version of the Netscape Navigator package. The programs would be running on the fast computer and the displays would be on the slow ones. Since there is not so much work for the slow computers to do they might in fact appear to be quite fast. Good design counts for a lot!

For all intensive purposes  Linux can be most hard and laden with jargon ?   Who is all this jargon for other than to intimidate other stupid people .  Among the dumbest of people the worst sin in the world is to admit that you are wrong or do not know.  Better , or the ultimate mistake is to admit that you do not know.  Instead pretend like you do .

It’s akin to people who come from deranged or most dysfunctional backgrounds and families.  In prison or at the anger management course they hear words drifting in and out of their consciousness -  “maturity “  “responsibility ” “fair treatment of other people ” etc etc etc.  The  amazing part is that although they can spout these words they have absolute no innate concepts of what the words mean in application.  The one purpose of these words is to intimidate others in their community – who associated these words and their terms , since these terms are associated in the minds of their friends , family and colleagues with authority figures and their powers.   Its not unlike spouting such terms as “F.B.I.”  or ” Corrections Canada”  .

The  purpose and purposes of jargon is indeed to explain what might be complex terms in a swoop.  This is exceptionally important in the case of emergencies.  If the sail boat is going over you do not have time to explain to your crew which and what parts of the boat they have to attend to.  Jargon or the nomenclature of the trade or sport makes this all rapid , fast and efficient.

So is it with computer Linux jargon.   There is a good reason for it.

Not so with linux.  The Linux operating system and much that has been written to run under it , has been supplied to users,  complete with its ’source code”.  What this means is that anyone with the skill, skills , time and inclination can “tweak” or rework the software for their purposes or use.

These changes or additions to the software must be made “freely available” to all.  That is the deal.  It can be at no charge , or a reasonable charge but it must be provided under the open source software agreements.

In the opposite case of “commercial software”   the licensing agreement will commonly and usually state , that  changing the source code is “strictly forbidden”.    These terms will apply to most or all of the commercially available software that you have purchased or that will come with your computer that is not “Linux”

However “open source”  does not mean “free’ of charge”.  In many cases the software is available at no charge – but not always and every time.  There are strict conditions which apply to the specific software .  The conditions will be listed and detailed in the license which accompanies the software.  These conditions hold legal weight and must be adhered to , by penalty of law.
