    This is the South African technology show all about personal computers. This season of Everything PC is sponsored by HP and Microsoft.

    In episode 3 of season 2, hosts Duncan McLeod and Gerhard Pretorius have a look at the world of open-source software and Linux.

    They discuss:

    • The latest tech news
    • Why Linux runs on everything – from toasters to the cloud – but hasn’t made much headway on the desktop
    • OpenOffice and LibreOffice
    • Why Linux mail clients are so poor
    • How Microsoft learned to love Linux — or did it?
    • Why Windows is becoming more like Linux, and could in fact become a hybrid Windows/Linux over time
    • Popular Linux distros
    • Why PC makers don’t make their own Linux distros
    • Gaming on Linux
