I have a problem with Linux

[Freston]

Freston, you are obviously not paranoid enough!

No I'm careless sometimes. Sometimes I even sit here, wondering what would happen if I open the curtain *shudders*

Freestone, you have to put the shiny side in, that way you keep your thoughts from leaking out and escaping.

I know the problem with geeky talk. People always slip into dummy mode with me as well.
It is truly like living in your own geeky world. I was used to living in my own world before I was introduced to Linux (PDD-NOS, you may know, as long as you know I'm not mad, and frankly tinfoil won't help against this), so it's nice to be able to share my world for the first time in my young life (I'm 17 now, was introduced to Linux on my birthday, giving me 2,5 years of experience).

I do have some people to share it with in my direct environment. My father is not unfamiliar with command line systems, even though he doesn't understand the way Linux works (when he wants to copy things from his old floppy disks, such as ancient administration files, he starts typing copy A:\[file].xls C:\[path], and I let him just to see him fail miserably, and then I take over and he sees me making it work).

The schools admins are also into Linux, and I have 4 friends of around my own age to share my enthusiasm with.

I'm still learning every single day, and it is the problems in Linux I like most. They keep my brain active.

I'm down to 3 systems again, as my (written of school workstation) server died, and my back-up is running it's tasks now (same kind of machine).

Experimenting with networks is just so cool in Linux, and I love the fact that I get the resources at school to play with real systems instead of virtual machines. Now we're talking business.
Unfortunately I have to keep winslows for a while as people are still using it, and people come to me with questions on their windslows box. I can't just leave my grandpa there, with his problem, can I? I don't explicitly pay for my winslows install, it was just the M$ tax system that brought me all of my winslows installs.

You are right about 2 computers not being enough. I am up to 9. Two of them still use Windows. One of for my sons games and the other is because I can't figure out how to get Ubuntu to type in Japanese text on facebook for my wife.

I have friends at work who use Mac's. They say if it does not work when you plug it in, you don't need it. Go buy another one that works.

If you do not live in a cool region of the world, those tin foil hats can get a little hot. If that becomes a problem, you can put a little fan on top.
