What Using Linux Means to Me
,----[ Quote ]
| When a user is using a new operating system they come to realize it's a tool
| and real people use many tools. Being OS-centric is self-defeating: why
| deprive yourself of choices? I recently was given an Apple Mac with OS
| X-Jaguar edition. No longer being afraid of new 'different' operating systems
| allowed me to enjoy myself, tool around, begin to get a feel for the OS and
| surf for tutorials on the web. Linux has spoiled me, though. I keep
| wondering "Where's all the free software?".
|
| It's all about choices. I believe Linux does it best.

Why I Choose Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux has not only been free, it's paid me rich dividends. I've used Linux
| for a little over two years and in that time I've learned more about
| the 'insides' of a computer than I learned in the preceding twenty years.

My Linux Story
,----[ Quote ]
| I was lucky to have switched to Linux when I did. I tried lots of other
| distros just for fun. I began experimenting with Howtos I'd run into. Back
| then howtos weren't "apt-get this, tick this box, and click OK." Back then
| they were 'get the source here, and the patch here and this one here, and
| open this file and replace this function with that one, then do this and that
| to this config file and then recompile this other program using this patch
| and edit its config file, then patch the kernel...' No mention of
| dependencies usually, you discovered them when you started to compile. Me and
| Texstar used to write back forth - "Hey hey! I got this to work! Here's a
| screenshot." Those were the days. It's all too easy now.
|
| But that was considerably easier than it had been in the '90s. This is why I
| have such respect for the really old guys that have been using Linux
| since "real men write their own drivers" and why Linus is my hero. This is
| why I shake my head at those who ask, "Is Linux ready for Prime Time?"
|
| Hell yeah, it's ready - and has been for quite a while.

Ballmer Still Searching for an Answer to Google
,----[ Quote ]
| "Forty percent of servers run Windows, 60 percent run Linux," he said. "How
| are we doing? Forty is less than 60, so I don't like it. ... We have some
| work to do."
