Comment The Meaning of being a Linuxtarian (Score 1) 570

You do not know how much I agree. VALinux Systems is an efficient venture, though, I think they are trying to pull and act of Satan^H^H^H^H^H^H Microsoft, trying to put together something for everyone, indirectly monopolizing the entire OS field.

I remember when the first American distribution of linux came out, with its logo penguin. I believe I knew not more than 3 people that knew what linux, wait, even UNIX was. I was a compulsive spaghetti programmer with heavy dreams and ambitions, and found this program to be one of the most innovative ways of putting together an operating system. It reminded me much of DOS, except more powerful and effective. I made a few strong linux programs in it, and then found a small archive of programs for linux. It was a dream come true. I uploaded my files to my (now closed) web space under my semi-psychotic friend's WinNT server. I decided to convince him a UNIX server would be more effective than an NT server, and he switched. The burnt altar server was closed and we registered fallenroof.org and installed a UNIX server on it. This was the prime of my life.

I remember the times of Satan^H^H^H^H^H^H Microsoft rule (still lasting) when Windows 95 came out, the entire nation had fallen. All people had been taken control of. People would pay hundreds of dollars for the window manager upon DOS. I was a dedicated Unixtarian (Becoming a Linuxtarian) and would not leave my post.

My friend sold the fallen roof, and got a job in the pits of hell^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H at Microsoft, and I have never talked to him again. He was a great mind, the mind behind WinG SDK, now known as DirectX. I did some Windows programming for a while, but thought something was missing. I did some DOS programming, some Internet programming, but all was not right.

My point being, people should not sell Linux. People should not sell anything. It is a nice fascist way of controlling all online actions. Instead, we should stick to what we believe. Those crappy NetZero commercials have a point. We should be giving it away.

It isn't easy being the parent of a six-year-old. However, it's a pretty small price to pay for having somebody around the house who understands computers.
