For me, making the war against Bill OSes means using Free Software OSes
(Debian, Gentoo, FreeBSD.......)instead Bill's one. Everybody is free
to use the OS he like, so I choose FreeBSD or Linux simply because for
me they are better. I also try to evangelize my friends here in my city
to use free software, but at the moment, it has been a difficult task.

By making the war, as I stated above, I mean using FreeSoftware instead
propietary one.
