The Linux Bug

The last thing I remember was going through the net to find an free alternative to cubase and soundforge... heh

I did find rosegarden and audacity, and wiped out my windows too.

As I've read in one article before about being bitten by the linux bug, you'll never go back to windows. It has been 3 weeks of distro hopping, and it has been an enjoyable experience (from mepis, gentoo - the not so enjoyable but a good learning experience, debian, and finally arch).  I hope to settle here for good as the philosophy fits me perfectly, though I'm still on the "pulling my hair" part since I have a lot of things to figure out. (like making the enlightenment or any gui work)

congratulations for a great distro, community, and wiki.

See, we don't even have that african word like certain other distros have. And yet, we are friendly
(Ubuntu is an ancient african word for - i can't install debian...)

heh well, no need to be ashamed for that
I would rather have people use ubuntu than windows.

Re: The Linux Bug

Just coming back from a 3-hour bike ride to the foot of the Volcano Villarrica. Biking is very good for meditation, and today I was thinking about M$ and Chile. They have a pretty aggressive policy of "donating" (I don't know the background of those deals) computers to public schools.

Talking to the people here about computers is useless - all they know is M$. You can say that the public opinion here is: PC = M$. They worship M$, in fact, most of them don't even know that other OS's exist!

I'm glad I found Arch, and wouldn't it be for some old but ongoing projects requiring Freehand (which I heard isn't being maintained anymore), I'd immediately delete my rarely used W2k partition.
