Totally hooked on Linux.

After years of ignorance the Knoppix Live Linux CD showed me the path. Today I’ve loaded Linux from the aforementioned CD on my home machine for the fifth time and I must say I am getting totally hooked. I remembered the days I used to log on to the Internet through a Unix front-end along with all the basic commands I used to type. Then I realized that nowadays the distros with KDE can be fully customized at will (themes, icons and such) and to top it all off there’s WINE that helps you run Windows apps on your Linux desktop. Now that was the turning point to me. As long as shrink runs correctly I’m happy. Now if only I can make my winmodem work and I am off to new adventures, open source and community driven.
To all the people that believe Linux is hard to learn, I beg to differ. I felt at ease using it in just 5 one-hour sessions without any help from friends or gurus, although I would greatly appreciate some..
