it all started with Win98, and IE4 coming out. I realized that M$ was going to 
completely get rid of the command line, and try to take over the world. Then 
I jumped ship, and ran RH 6.2 back when linux was so simple, but damn had to 
configure.

Today, its not about M$, but about freedom, the freedom to configure my system 
as I want it, try new tools, then delete them, if I don't get them, or they 
stink. Its about user to user help. Its about helping others. Its about 
having a fully functional home network, secure from spyware, spam and 
viruses.

Life is good. Linux rocks.
