Recently on the Tech-no-media network

As you probably now the Tech-no-media network is not only the main blog but also includes "From Windows to Linux for the average Joe", a blog about Linux for the absolute beginner, and "Online Video Producer", a blog focused on creating and publishing videos and podcasts for the web. Occasionally (like now) I publish a summary of the articles published there on the main blog.

On From Windows to Linux for the average Joe:

9 reasons to switch from Windows to Linux: this is a article reviewing some of the possible reasons for switching to Linux from the point of view of a non technical user or beginner. You don't want to spend the time and effort learning about Linux just to realize that changing your operating system to Linux does not solve the problem you have or does not deliver the benefits you expected.

What is a Linux distribution: The first thing that puzzles someone new to Linux is the concept of Linux distribution. To help you understand what is a Linux distribution I will take the Windows world as an example. Again the article is targeted at absolute Linux beginners and non technical users.

As a note, I would like to clarify that the Linux articles targeting a technical audience will be posted on the main Tech-no-media site and not on "From Windows to Linux for the average Joe", as that site is really for beginners. I had quite a lot of feedback from seasoned Linux users about making a lot of oversimplifications on the tutorial site: this is on purpose!

On Online Video Producer:

7 YouTube alternatives to upload video: a long article presenting the pros and cons of several good alternatives to Youtube. This is from the point of view of the video uploader and not of the video consumer.

Comments on your YouTube videos can bite!: A post on the recent outbreak of malicious links on Youtube video comments, as well as a discussion of the importance of Youtube comments to connect with your audience.
