If you're using Linux stand out and be counted, commercial OS's have statistics they can rely on to say how many copies are sold out, why don't we have statistics too and don't allow some companies to speculate on that.

An Analysis of Microsoft's "Competing with Linux" Document by Con Zymaris, has some interesting facts as of what Micro$oft want people to think about Linux.

General notes

Always use absolute pathnames like /path/to/filename and not relative like filename or set up a well known PATH.

Check everything twice before you enter anything (especially while logged in as root).

If you don't know how to create a shell script simply copy the text and save it as a separate file and then at the shell type chmod +x filename where filename is the name you saved the script as. Lines beginning with #( hash) are comments except for the first line which is usually #!/bin/bash or #!/bin/sh (for shell scripts) and points to the program that should execute the code.
