The > symbol is ambiguous

The > symbol can be read as an arrow since it is in the reading direction. I would read this:

Android => iPhone

as the next step after Android is iPhone.

To minimize that ambiguity maybe we should flip it around and do < instead. So iPhone < Android.

Agree with the problem. Flipping it around is better, but doesn't completely solve it either... Ciaran 08:39, 20 December 2012 (EST)

Suggestion: remove software

How can I give someone software in a way that won't be more inconvenient than if they just got it for them self? Sounds like an awful (thoughtless) gift idea.

If someone gave me the source or a binary of Gimp, I wouldn't install it. I'd use my package manager to get a version of Gimp that has been tested to work with my system.

The recommendations in that section should be moved to a page for how to migrate from proprietary software to free software. Ciaran 08:49, 20 December 2012 (EST)
