    I always get impressed with Linux flexibility

    I don't know If anybody care but I will tell you why

    Installed Crux yesterday, everything is fine except the x server, I wanted to reconfigure from a comfortable eviromment, I just tried to mount Crux root partition, didn't work, don't have reiser support in kernel ... no problem, added a module for the kernel, built it, and installed it, then modprobed it without problems, NO REBOOT! Mounted Crux partition ...

    chrooted to crux / partition, now I'm configuring everything from xterm! with a nice firefox window behind with any help I may need.

    Changing to another OS without rebooting?. Yep, that's Linux

    I just love Linux!

    I always enjoy how I can totaly srew things up (by accident), figure out what went wrong and then spend an enjoyable time fixing it. I get a hard-on, for example, every time X doesn't want to start.

    Screwing something (even the kernel!) and then fixing it with help from forums or IRC is always a lot of fun for me (as long it doesn't damage my hardware)

    I just remember last year when I was still using Gentoo and my X server was down for 3 days because I couldn't compile a driver because I had a corrupt toolchain...After I was done I felt like a god...=D

    That feeling is one of the reasons why I use Linux among hundreds ...
