I thought windows was supposed to be getting better. However my new job requires running windows (to run an app) and it is bad. I was running win2000 and it crashed about 4 times today. Admittadly, the app that i was using is pretty unstable, but an app shouldn't be able to crash the system.
I keep seeing people say that today's hard drives are pleanty big enough. You will fill up any drive you're given.
I had a 3.2 gb drive. It was pleanty. Then i installed some apps and it filled up so i upgraded to a 13.6 gb hdd. It was huge. I couldn't imagine ever filling it up. Then p2p came out. It filled up so i bought a 40 gb drive. Well, i knew i couldn't ever fill this up. Then p2p became good. I just got a 200 gb hdd. As i sit here configuring mythtv i know i'll need another hard drive at some point even if this one is only 25% full and i have another 56.8 gigs of empty, older hdds.
It ran win95 and fucked up a lot. It taught me (by necessity if i wanted to do anything) the basics of fixing computers. It now is my webserver running FreeBSD.
While this was ment as a joke, i'd like to point out that people valuing time is the buisness model for all commercial linux vendors. You can get Red Hat free, but many companies pay lots of money for support.
SuSE is more difficult; you have to do an FTP install. They don't provide free ISOs, but it's not too hard, even for a noob. Or try a.org distro (debian, gentoo, etc.)
You don't follow news, do you. If he does that he'll go to jail. Or at least spend a fortune on legal fees to get off.

i know the feeling. after i merge xfree, i fire up twm open like 100 xterms and start emerging everything else at once. I know it can be done better, but it looks really cool while it' s going. until 18 things try to merge gtk and it dies. not so cool
y'all rmrmeber that? It actually didi a very good job of imitiating windows. It came as the default wm on RH 5.2 back in the day. UI was like LLinux has a start button. wow. And netscape. it's jsut like windows, except different. I rebooted into win95 to play a game later and didn't use linux for another year or so, but it was fy forst view of linux.

how did your first computer affect your life?

I've never seen the attraction of assigning an IP to your left testicle, but whatever turns you on I suppose.
I know. I prefer to have just one global IP for my genitals and use NAT to address all the individual parts.
the need to buy new tools?
It's not a need, but an excuse to set up a metal shop in the basement.
I don't want to be surrounded by people on the plane yakking into their cellphones. If cellphones are allowed the cabin noise will be insane.

Try to explain to a non-techie what linux is. I tried that once and it didn't work to well.
Redhat can be downloaded form ftp.redhat.com

We will, don't worry.
