Subject: Presidential Election TLWIR Special – Which Man Would Be Better for Free Software: President Barack Obama or Governor Mitt Romney?
Most geeks that I have met tend to not hold a great deal of interest in politics. We generally would prefer to spend our time solving technical problems than debating presidential politics. However, if we compare the two men fighting to be the commander-in-chief of the United States for the next four years, one has a clear advantage from a Free Software perspective. In The Linux Week in Review 47, I will reveal which presidential candidate is the winner.

It is our firm belief that Linux, despite its advances on the desktop side, as well as on tablets, should be taught starting with the command line. That's because it's an operating system that borrows heavily from Unix(TM), and there was nothing more than a text interface on it at the very beginning. Studies have shown that, if applicable, one is more efficient on the command-line rather than using a graphical user interface (GUI). "If applicable" means that we're not referring at photo/video editing or some other task that requires a graphical environment.
