Correct, I was born in Caceres, and lived there until I was 21. There is an autonomous Extremadura governing body akin to state institutions in the US.
Add 'no corporations nor governments' to your statement, and you have me %50 sold, just dont call them 'socialist' servers, there are people whose support would be needed in this idea, who, like you mention, think that socialism = comunism = red = bad, long bearded dude who smokes stinking cigars
Excerpt from their own FAQ - where they dedicate some 15 pages to explain how you will be considered a jackass if you dont ask a question the right and precise way, and are entitled no respect whatsoever when looking for an answer - :
Be courteous. Use "Please" and "Thanks in advance". Make it clear that you appreciate the time people spend helping
you for free.
Same FAQ, section "Dealing with rudeness":
If you can't manage to be grateful, at least
have a little dignity, don't whine, and don't expect to be
treated like a fragile doll just because you're a newcomer
with a theatrically hypersensitive soul and delusions of
entitlement.
Draw your own conclussions.

thorrbjorn,
You are right, I am kind of new posting to/. and wasn't too familiar with the tactics Trolls use. After reading your post, I also find it hard to believe that Egg Troll would be african-american, and conciously do such a diservice and misrepresentation of his/her/its own culture.

You cannot expect a serious discussion out of a post where most of the facts are wrong or misinterpreted.
Nobody can take those claims seriously, when you:
1/ compare "Linux" to "Microsoft", obviously forgetting that the former is NOT a company, and that Microsoft's revenues allow them to pour money into as many charities as they see fit in return for positive PR.
2/ When you call Apache a "web browser", stating your ignorance of any Linux related matters, not just a browser, but a "third-party browser", maybe you can explain to us what the first and second party browsers are. When you foolishly state that to name a web server platform "Apache" consitutes to steal the indentity of native Americans, maybe you would like to give us a list of the words never to be used again because they define a race? Apache is also a helicopter in the US army, what do you think about that?
3/ When you tell us that the user base for Linux is mostly wealthy white men. Well, I may be white, but like millions of other Linux users, I am far from wealthy (Linux is mostly distributed freely, fact that you seem to ignore), is my sin to be a Linux user? Or to be white?
4/ When you acuse Mandrake and Red Hat of not distributing free copies of their software to kids. Well, both these Linux distributions can be obtained free of charge, so I don't think your argument makes any sense.
5/ When you say that Samba is a racist name. As far as I know, Samba is a type of Brazilian beat, as well as a dance, and nobody saw anything racist in it until you came along.
Once you get up to speed in the issues that you feel so strongly about in spite of your lack of knowledge, you are welcome to come back and start a decent, rational, facts-based conversation about why Linux is racist.

That would definetly be a way to go.

Snap out of it people, its time to wake up
