I recently discovered this interesting document from 2002.

| There is a disturbing lack of resistance to Microsoft’s market hegemony among anarchists and activists today. It is counter-revolutionary to design revolutionary fliers on a computer running Windows XP, displaying protest pictures on a computer running Windows XP is not a statement of protest, and using Microsoft software to coordinate anti-capitalist action is not anti-capitalist. To many, however, it seems that there is no other choice.
This guide attempts to present an alternative. The Linux operating system is a successful anarchist project based on open cooperation and rooted in the ideal of freedom. Hopefully the following will help you install Linux after demonstrating the need to resist Microsoft. |
While this guide needs an updating, the basic principles still apply.
