FUSE (Filesystem in userspace) gives not only non privileged users a little more power, but also allows file systems that for legal reasons cannot be linked to the kernel life on a Linux system.

Thanks to this fuse layer, you can access gmail as a harddisk, ssh mount devices, and now you can finally access your iphone or ipod as a harddisk under linux thanks to the iFuse filesystem!
Here is a link to an ubuntu geek howto on installing and using iFuse!

Chris sent me a link to this article.

It’s quite a good read, it’s not bagging out Windows per say, but makes a great point about habit and how hard software is. A lot of you out there have a bad image of Linux, thinking it’s too hard and that you need to be a geek, sure that was true 5 – 10 years ago, but a lot has changed! Sure it’s hard but if you think about it all operating systems are, Linux actually does a great job of simplifying tasks. I don’t care what people say, installing an app in Linux is SO much easier then even that of OSX or Windows.. it’s just you can’t install Windows software on Linux, just like you cannot install Windows software on OSX.

Anyway if your interested then give the article a read!
