I remembered my password for MS again.
Had my "fun" with it this am.
Almost 3 hours to update and run 1 scan. Too much "fun" for me. I won't be able to handle that again for awhile.

Thats why I use Linux.

I like turning my PC on and using it.

because... Linux isn't a clone of Windows and doesn't aim to be!

I actually started using Linux cause I got fed up with Windows and because Macs are a tad pricey. But ever since I started using it I've learned a lot about how an OS works. I couldn't have told you what a file system was 1 year ago or what it meant to compile a program. But I learned with time. Some things I learned from people in the forum, others I learned from annihilating my computer and then resurrecting it. The article couldn't be truer.

It's fun to use the command line.


Definitely not everyone's definition of fun . . . but it sure is mine!
